Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White is not practicing with the team Thursday, according to Vaughn McClure of ESPN. White is dealing with an ankle injury, and his status for Atlanta's Week 14 game against the Green Bay Packers is unknown at this point. Whatever the case, the Falcons don't play Green Bay until Monday, so this is the first practice of the week.

Sitting out of that first practice isn’t generally a huge deal. White’s status Friday and Saturday will be much more revealing. White has had a so-so season, catching 56 passes for 662 yards and five touchdowns in 10 games played. But he put together some of his best games in the month of November, eclipsing 70 yards three times, with two touchdowns.
Fantasy Impact: White missed Atlanta's Week 13 game against the Arizona Cardinals, though the Falcons won, 29-18. White will be a big part of Atlanta's push for the NFC South crown, and should be expected to get plenty of looks against the Packers Monday. Fantasy owners should check back on Saturday for more news on his status.
