Falcons pool report: Mack limited by left fibula injury Published: Feb 02, 2017 at 11:06 AM HOUSTON -- center had his struggles in the ' last full-speed practice of week Thursday afternoon at Rice University, and coach Dan Quinn said he was "concerned, Teemu Selanne Jersey yes" about Mack's injured left fibula as the clock ticks down to Sunday's game against New England. "I just know his toughne s and strength is so great," Quinn said after another brisk and quick (88 minutes) practice on Rice's gra s practice field adjacent to Rice Stadium. "The good thing is I know he's feeling better than he did in the NFC Championship Game. But yeah, I'm concerned. I'm not panicked, but I'm concerned." Mack and wide receiver (sprained toe) were listed as limited in practice, while pa s-rusher (calf) sat out practice in what was more of a veteran maintenance day. Freeney, who turns 37 two weeks after the , is expected to be ready to play against the Sunday evening. "Dwight's played with minor injuries this year," said Quinn. It's quite likely Mack will play too. But he's clearly the ' biggest i sue entering the game. A couple of times during Thursday's practice -- on a 72-degree partly cloudy afternoon, with light northerly winds -- Mack was seen coaching backup off to the side on technique work. That's a mark of how the practice; often, receivers are seen coaching receivers Rickard Rakell Jersey , or quarterback discu ses technique or positioning with receivers and backs, or linemen coach linemen. Garland, a studious type, has been working overtime on New England tape with Mack in the past week. "This game, because of the multiple fronts by New England, requires a lot of prep work by the center," Quinn said. "Identifying this look, this front, this player's positioning, they Mack and Garland spend a lot of time in the film room together normally ... and I would say it's been even more these two weeks because this opponent requires even more." Quinn said he was pleased with the overall tempo of the fast-paced practice. The did a lot of scout-team third-down work, and other than two dropped pa ses in team drills by the first unit, they looked crisp and read. The second-year head coach said: "Man, was I pleased with the work today. This was a full-speed practice, with a lot of third-down work, and that's where you make you. I like the way we executed our plan today. New England's got a big playbook, and we threw a lot at the guys. Often times we make it as hard as we can on them, like today. It'll never be as hard as the game, but we're gonna try to simulate the toughest looks we can. I was pleased with how they reacted today." Several members of the FOX TV crew -- including Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Daniel Sprong Kids Jersey Erin Andrews and Chris Myers from the game crew, and Jimmy Johnson from the studio show -- were on hand to watch practice. Also watching: Westwood One radio's Tony Boselli, who will work the Atlanta sidelines for the radio call of the game. Boselli is one of the 15 finalists for Saturday's voting.
