An injury at a key position can derail a team's chances in a matter of seconds. Just ask the Kansas City Chiefs. The Atlanta Falcons have avoided such an injury this season but even if the injury bug catches up to them, their depth would keep them from falling off too much. This season, they've lost Kerry Meier and Jerious Norwood to the IR. Sean Weatherspoon has missed seven games of his rookie campaign and Jason Snelling is hoping to return for the first time in three weeks. Depth at each of those positions has kept the Falcons rolling along at 11-2. Now, if Roddy White were to miss time ... well ... um ... you know what, let's not even think those bad thoughts.
In what could be the Falcons final road game this season before a possible four straight home games, the Falcons offer up their Thursday injury report for the Seattle Seahawks game. The full reports, courtesy of the official site, are below. The Seahawks have not yet released their report for Thursday.
