ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White
missed practice on Thursday after suffering a minor head injury
the day before.
White was involved in a violent collision with safety Lawyer
Milloy during practice on Wednesday and was pulled for
"precautionary reasons," according to a report in the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution.
"During practice, Roddy had a pretty good collision, and we held
him out for part of the practice," Falcons head coach Mike Smith
said.
While the fourth-year wideout was listed on the injury report
with an unspecified head injury, it is not considered serious
and White will not undergo any tests.
"Me and Lawyer collided yesterday and I felt a little fuzzy,"
White said. "We didn't do (any) test because I felt good. I
guess they were just taking precautions."
White, who leads the team with 26 receptions and is third in the
NFL with 454 receiving yards, is expected back on the practice
field Friday and should play in Sunday's game against the NFC
North-leading Chicago Bears.
