Falcons final Week 5 injury report: No news is good news

The Atlanta Falcons are fully healthy heading into Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans. Zero players were listed on the team’s Week 5 injury report, which is pretty rare these days.

Head coach Arthur Smith was pleased to see the team getting healthier. “Thankfully, a clear injury report,” Smith told reporters on Friday. “Feeling pretty good going into this game.”

The Falcons have lost two straight games, but they’re undefeated at home this season. Sunday’s game is in Atlanta, so hopefully that’s enough to get the team back on the winning track.

The Texans have a couple of guys banged up, including offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. In total, Houston has 13 players listed on this week’s injury report. We’ll learn each player’s game status following Friday’s practice.
