Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez are skipping this week's OTAs.
Gonzalez might end up skipping the Falcons' entire offseason program. White's absence is a mild surprise, but in no way a concern. The durable, prolific wideout is likely training on his own. May 29 - 1:12 PM

Roddy White caught seven passes for 100 yards in Atlanta's year-ending NFC title game loss to San Francisco.

Although he was quieter than Julio Jones -- who registered a ridiculous 6/120/2 stat line in the game's first 16 minutes alone -- White made crucial chain-moving catches to keep drives alive and "sustain" offense. White, however, cost his quarterback by slipping on a third-quarter route, and Matt Ryan's pass was intercepted by 49ers LCB Chris Culliver. San Francisco was unable to capitalize as David Akers banged a 38-yard field goal off the left upright. White turned 31 in November, but he still has spring in his legs and will be a borderline WR1 in 2013 drafts. An early-career deep threat, White has emerged as one of the league's premier short-to-intermediate receivers in recent years.

Roddy White led the Falcons with 76 yards and a touchdown on five receptions in Sunday's Divisional round victory over the Seahawks.

He and Julio Jones tied for the team lead with 10 targets. Shadowed for the majority of the game by a trash-talking Richard Sherman, White finally burned the All-Pro with a 47-yard touchdown that appeared to put the game out of reach at 20-0 late in the second quarter. White could have added a second score, but Matt Ryan was late with the throw, allowing Sherman to deflect it in the end zone.

Roddy White (knee) is practicing in full for the Divisional Round of the playoffs.

White missed a ton of practice time in December, but never a game. It's good timing for White to be back to 100 percent, as he and Julio Jones will be contending with Seattle's imposing cornerback duo of Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner in Sunday's game.

Roddy White is now fully recovered from his knee injury that forced him to miss practices down the stretch in the regular season.

"It's feeling good," White said of the right knee. "I think the second week was really the turning point for everything. I feel a lot more comfortable. I feel like I can move around and do lateral movements and stuff like that instead of just running straight." White first popped up on the injury report in Week 15 and was a game-time decision for the final three weeks. He'll be full go when the Falcons take on the Redskins or Seahawks next week in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.

Roddy White hauled in five passes for 42 yards versus the Bucs in Week 17.

White played the entire game despite sitting out practice all week to rest his knee. He led the team with 10 targets, but the Falcons couldn't get anything going down the field against the NFL's worst pass defense. A top-10 fantasy receiver for the sixth consecutive season, White finishes the regular season with a 92/1,351/7 stat line. Although the knee injury hasn't hampered White's production, he will welcome the playoff bye week.

Roddy White (knee) is active for Week 17 versus the Bucs.

White did not practice all week. He has a consecutive games streak going back to his rookie season of 2007. It's quite possible that the Falcons will play him for one series before yanking him. White is a high-risk fantasy play for the finale. Falcons inactives: QB Dominique Davis, OL Phillipkeith Manley, DT Travian Robertson, S Willam Moore, CB Christopher Owens, C Joe Hawley, and OL Harland Gunn.

Roddy White (questionable, knee) missed Falcons practice again on Friday.

The Falcons have already locked up the NFC's No. 1 playoff seed. While White is tentatively expected to be active for Week 17 against the Bucs, he may not play more than a fistful of snaps. Check back Sunday for his status.

Roddy White (knee) did not participate in practice again on Thursday.

White could very well be on his way to putting in another week of no practices like he did in Week 15, but we wouldn't worry about his game status for Sunday against the Bucs. However, White may see limited action with the Falcons already having the NFC's No. 1 seed already locked up. His status will be updated no later than Friday.

Roddy White (knee) was held out of Wednesday's practice.

Coach Mike Smith has said the Falcons are "going to play the game to win" on Sunday, but with the NFC's No. 1 seed already clinched up, White is one player who figures to see few, if any, snaps. If your league goes beyond Week 16, consider White a shaky WR2 against the Bucs.

Roddy White (knee) played 50-of-57 snaps in Saturday night's win over the Lions.

It was the second straight week that White was listed as questionable on the injury report, but he once again played a full load of snaps. After posting a two-catch, 16-yard performance in Week 15, White exploded against the Lions to catch eight passes for 153 yards and two scores. He joined Marvin Harrison, Torry Holt, Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, and Reggie Wayne as the only players in NFL history to record six straight seasons with 80 catches and 1,000 yards.

Roddy White caught eight passes for 153 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's win over the Lions.

After being held to two catches for 16 yards against the Giants, White went off for a pair touchdowns and had 106 yards in just over a quarter of action. He played yet again despite being listed as questionable and has still never missed a game in his career due to injury. Since 2007, no receiver has more receiving yards than White. He'll have an opportunity for another big game against the Bucs' secondary if the Falcons decide not to rest him in the regular season finale.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Roddy White (knee, questionable) will play on Saturday night against the Lions.

White missed practice on Wednesday before returning to a limited status to end the week, but he was never in serious doubt for Week 16. He'll see another full workload, just as he did last week on the gimpy knee. White was held to two catches for 16 yards against the Giants, but the passing game was scrapped early after Atlanta jumped out to a big lead and blew out the G-Men. Rotoworld ranks White as the No. 12 receiver this week, so start him with full confidence against a leaky Detroit secondary. Inactives will be released in roughly 45 minutes.

Roddy White - WR - Falcons

Roddy White (knee) is listed as "questionable" for Week 16 after getting in his second straight limited practice on Friday.

Although White is officially "questionable," he might as well be "probable," as he isn't believed to have suffered a setback while playing 50-of-68 snaps in last Sunday's win over the Giants. He's Rotoworld's No. 12 receiver for Week 16.

Roddy White (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday.

White has never missed a game in his eight-year career. He's not going to be 100 percent for Saturday's game versus the Lions, but he can still be effective in a plus matchup.
