The Falcons received some positive news on Thursday, as safety Justin Simmons, who missed their Week 8 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a hamstring injury, logged a full practice. Barring a setback, he should be good to go this week. Also, after not practicing on Wednesday due to a reported knee injury, right guard Chris Lindstrom was upgraded to being limited Thursday. The hope is that both players and Troy Andersen, who has been out for a while, can return against Dallas.

For the Cowboys, the only updates on Thursday was that defensive tackle Linval Joseph and guard Zack Martin were both upgraded to being limited after missing Wednesday’s practice. The Falcons may well see a Cowboys defense without Parson and their two best cornerbacks.
