ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons have listed running back Steven Jackson as probable for Sunday’s game at Arizona.
Jackson, the NFL’s active career-leading rusher, missed the past four games with a hamstring injury, but he participated fully in practice on Friday.
Four-time Pro Bowl receiver Roddy White won’t play for the second straight game because of ankle and hamstring injuries.
Starting linebacker Stephen Nicholas (thigh) and reserve running back Jason Snelling (ankle) also are out.
Starting left tackle Sam Baker (knee) and starting linebacker Akeem Dent (ankle) are questionable. Starting defensive tackle Corey Peters (shoulder), cornerback Robert Alford (ankle) and tight end Chase Coffman (ankle) are probable.
The Falcons (2-4) snapped a three-game losing streak last week. Arizona (3-4) has lost two straight.
