Although Atlanta Falcons receiver Roddy White missed Tuesday’s practice with a hamstring injury, coach Mike Smith sounded more concerned with having White rested for Thursday night’s quick turnaround game versus Tampa Bay.

White, already dealing with a troublesome left knee, injured his hamstring during Sunday’s 24-10 loss at Cincinnati. He indicated he was “good'” following the game.

“It’s not important for Roddy to practice,” Smith said. “We’d like for Roddy to practice, but it’s all about getting Roddy ready on a short week. And some of these guys across the league that have some age with them, on a short week, you’ve got to get them to Thursday. And that’s our intention.

“Right now, our goal is to have Roddy as healthy as he can be for the ball game on Thursday night.”
