Report: Falcons' Mack has sprained ankle, unlikely to practice this week

Dale Zanine / USA TODAY Sports

Atlanta Falcons center Alex Mack is battling a painful sprained ankle and is likely to miss practice this week, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Mack suffered the injury in Sunday's NFC Championship Game, but missed only one play.

With two weeks until the Super Bowl, the Falcons can afford to let Mack rest. It would be shocking if he doesn't suit up against the New England Patriots, though he might have to do so at less than 100 percent.
