Falcons Goldson, Ward Questionable against Bucs

The Atlanta Falcons will take on a tough divisional foe as they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the team’s first farewell to the Georgia Dome. Unfortunately, safety Dashon Goldson and RB Terron Ward are both listed as questionable.

Under the revised injury report policy, approved recently by the NFL competition committee, the “probable” category has been eliminated and the remaining classifications have been redefined. As a result, only somewhat significant injuries are on the lists this year.

Safety Keanu Neal will be an obvious scratch. He has not practiced as he recovers from knee surgery.

Ward has been dealing with a nagging ankle injury and Goldson was added to the injury report Thursday as he has been limited with a hamstring injury.

With the depth concerns in the secondary, it could be a real issue if Goldson is unable to play.
