Falcons' Justin Simmons: Logs full practice Thursday
Simmons (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Simmons was unable to play during the Falcons' Week 8 win over the Buccaneers due to a hamstring injury. The injury limited him in practice Wednesday, but he was able to practice without restrictions Thursday. Barring any setbacks, he should be good to go against Dallas on Sunday. Across seven regular-season games, Simmons has logged 28 tackles (15 solo), three pass breakups and one interception.

Falcons' Justin Simmons: Limited to open week
Simmons (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Simmons suffered a hamstring injury during the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the Seahawks, which was severe enough to keep him off the field for Week 8 against the Buccaneers. His limited session Wednesday is a step in the right direction after he ended last week with a DNP, and his practice participation over the next two days will give a clearer picture of his availability for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. If Simmons is sidelined for a second straight game, Richie Grant likely would start at safety alongside Jessie Bates.
