Harry Douglas (foot) ruled out again

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons receiver Harry Douglas was ruled out of Sunday's game at Baltimore as he continues to recover from a deep bruise in his left foot.
Douglas suffered the injury in a Week 3 win over Tampa Bay and now will miss his fourth consecutive game. He was on the practice field again Friday simply catching passes without a helmet, a hint that he might be closer to a return.
The rest of the players on the injury report are probable for Sunday's game: WR Julio Jones (ankle), WR Devin Hester (hamstring), LG Justin Blalock (back), DT Jonathan Babineaux (knee), linebacker Prince Shembo (knee), and linebacker Nate Stupar (knee).
Shembo, who took over the starting role at one inside linebacker spot, is unlikely to be back in the starting lineup due to his injury. Joplo Bartu is expected to start for the second straight game after losing his spot to Shembo in Week 4.
