Falcons' Ito Smith sidelined with neck injury

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (neck) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice.

What It Means:

Smith sat out Week 8 with a concussion, but it looks like he picked up a neck injury during the Falcons' bye week. Brian Hill will likely handle backup work behind Devonta Freeman in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday if Smith is unavailable. Smith is only averaging 4.7 touches per game.

Smith is averaging 4.4 FanDuel points per contest. The Saints are 4th in the NFL against the run (84.2 yards per game).
