The Atlanta Falcons received welcome news on Thursday when veteran wide receiver Roddy White said he is ready to play and expects to be back in action Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

“Yeah yeah, I feel good,” White told the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “If I didn’t, then, you know, I wouldn’t be talking to y’all right now. So, yeah, I feel good. It was kind of frustrating just going out there and watching. Every time I watch football games from the sideline, I’m kind of frustrated not being out there with my teammates and things like that. But … I’m ready to roll.”

White missed last week’s 56-14 thrashing of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because of a hamstring strain.

He was limited during Wednesday’s practice but by Thursday, the 32-year-old was confident about playing Sunday.
