Roddy White: 'I feel good'
By Vaughn McClure | ESPN.com
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons receiver Roddy White, who missed last Thursday night's win over Tampa Bay with a hamstring injury, said he expects to play against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
"Yeah yeah, I feel good," White said. "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, you know, not being out there with my teammates and things like that. But ... I'm ready to roll."
White missed Monday's practice but returned to action Wednesday and was limited. He had every intention of playing against the Buccaneers last week despite injuring his hamstring in a Week 2 loss at Cincinnati.
White said the decision to sit out the Tampa Bay game wasn't made until he got to the Georgia Dome last Thursday evening.
"They don't let me do what I used to do," White said, referring to when he used to make the call on whether or not to play. "I'm getting up there in age now."
White, who turns 33 on Nov. 2, was an iron man up until last season, when he missed three games due to hamstring and ankle injuries after playing in 133 consecutive games, going back to his rookie season in 2005. Ironically, the first game White missed last season was against Tampa Bay at home.
