Injury roundup: Arian Foster a game-time decision

Roddy White is ready to make his return to the Atlanta Falcons' starting lineup.

The veteran wide receiver told reporters on Thursday he's "good to go" for Sunday's road matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, according to the Falcons' team site. White sat out last Thursday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a strained hamstring.

White's proclamation was not a surprise. He's practiced all week, and his DNP against the Bucs was largely due to the fact that the Falcons were playing on a short week. He returns to face a Vikings team ranked 13th in pass defense entering Week 4.

White had 10 receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown over Atlanta's first two games.

Here is the rest of Thursday's injury-related news as we gear up for another weekend smorgasbord of football.
