Falcons injury news: Updates on Ruke Orhorhoro, Drew Dalman

On Wednesday, the Atlanta Falcons (5-3) got back to work preparing for this weekend’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys (3-4). While the team hasn’t suffered any major injuries this season, a few players are dinged up entering Week 9.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris met with the media before Wednesday’s practice to provide injury updates on center Drew Dalman, linebacker Troy Andersen, defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro, safety Justin Simmons and a few others.

Dalman, who was placed on the injured reserve list after injuring his ankle in Week 3, is doing well and on track to return the the active roster soon.  Andersen has missed the last four games but Morris said he’s hopeful the linebacker will return to team activities this week.

Simmons, who missed Sunday’s game due to a hamstring injury, should be good to go in Week 9. Morris said that while Orhorhoro’s status remains up in the air, and the rookie is “not looking great.”

Orhorhoro suffered an ankle injury in Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers and it sounds like he could be out in Week 9. Check back for the team’s Wednesday injury report later this afternoon.
