Tamme (shoulder) won't play Thursday against the Buccaneers, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Tamme set to miss Thursday's game, Austin Hooper is in line for an expanded role in Week 9, which makes him an option for those scrambling for tight end help in a week that features six NFL teams on bye. Also in the mix at the position for the Falcons on Thursday will be Levin Toilolo and possibly Joshua Perkins.
