Atlanta Falcons No. 3 wide receiver Harry Douglas hasn’t featured much in the team’s passing attack after catching six passes for 69 yards in the team’s Week 1 overtime win over the New Orleans Saints, as he caught just four passes for 38 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals and only hauled in two receptions and a TD last week on Thursday Night Football against the rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Douglas is currently nursing a foot injury and missed practice on Monday, but he practiced fully from Wednesday onward without any issues. It never looked like he was at risk of missing today’s game against the Minnesota Vikings this afternoon at 4:25 p.m. ET, but the Falcons decided to list him a questionable (he looked “probable” based on his practice statuses).
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports that Douglas will be a game-time decision today against the Vikings, as the Falcons will hold him out if he doesn’t look good in pre-game warm-ups. Douglas should be considered a toss-up for today’s game, and his absence could mean great things for the rising Devin Hester, who has finally found a place on offense outside of the confines of the Chicago Bears, who could never coax anything out of him on O.
