Leonard Hankerson (ribs) limited at Falcons' practice

Atlanta Falcons wideout Leonard Hankerson (ribs) remained limited in Tuesday's practice.

What It Means:

Hankerson was listed with a ribs issue in Week 5, and he was forced out of the contest. He eventually returned, but Hankerson finished with just 1 grab for 13 yards. With Julio Jones's (hamstring) status in doubt for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Saints, Hankerson could be in line for No. 1 receiver duties for Matt Ryan and the Falcons.

The Saints' defense sits 31st in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play, so Hankerson could be in for a big day if he suits up. We project him for 3 catches for 51 yards and 0.40 touchdowns, although that's assuming Jones plays.
