Falcons' Mohamed Sanu: Expected to play Sunday

The Falcons expect Sanu, who left Monday's game with a shoulder injury, to play Sunday against the Panthers, ESPN's Ed Werder reports.

Analysis:

Sanu's setback was serious enough to prevent him from returning Monday night, but the team is hopeful that it will not cost him any further action. Sanu's status for Week 4 will likely be determined based on his participation in practice this week.
