FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan sat out another practice because of a toe injury, making it increasingly unlikely he'll be able to play against the unbeaten New Orleans Saints.

While Ryan went through a walkthrough, which wasn't open to the media, he wasn't even at the indoor practice facility for the 2½-hour workout. Still, coach Mike Smith said the team isn't ready to say for sure that Ryan won't play Sunday.

Chris Redman ran the first-team offense.
Ryan hurt the big toe on his right foot in a Nov. 29 victory over Tampa Bay. He sat out last weekend's game against Philadelphia, along with four other offensive starters, and the Falcons (6-6) lost 34-7 to severely damage their playoff hopes.
