The Falcons should be bolstered by the return of starting cornerback A.J. Terrell who missed last week because of a concussion. He is going through the final stages of concussion protocols this week and was at practice on Wednesday.
Atlanta also got projected starting left guard Josh Andrews and reserve cornerback Kendall Sheffield back from injury on Wednesday. It's unlikely they will be key contributors against Washington until they have had more time back from injured reserve.
The Falcons showed improvement in their win against the Giants last week. A healthy Terrell could be the difference-maker they need to tip the balance in what looks to be a closely contested game.
