Tony Gonzalez misses practice; Uncertain to play this week
 

It looks like the Atlanta Falcons will not know the status of tight end Tony Gonzalez this Thursday when they face the New Orleans Saints until right before the game is set to kick-off. He looked like a long-shot to play Sunday vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after the future hall of famer was unable to practice at all last week, but manged to suit-up and start.

After missing practice Monday, he was once again unable to go today:

He will play. If he didn't they would have to forfeit at the count toss.

I'll believe it when the whistle sounds and he's on the sidelines in street clothes.

They are trying to do everything they can to beat us, but it won't work and the Falcons know it.

If he is on the sidelines when the game starts in street clothes..... You might have to get that 50 burger ready....

Either way, with the frailcons at a disappointing 2-8, he's got to be having a serious "short-timer's" attitude that will affect his game.

You think he is marking his calendar and telling everyone how many days, hours, and minutes left? :)

He may not be telling the team, but you know he's gotta' be thinking about it, :lol:.
