Head coach Dan Quinn doesn't think Tamme (shoulder) will be sidelined long term, but Quinn did acknowledge that the veteran tight end may miss Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tamme came out of the gates fast in Sunday's game against the Packers, securing two passes for 19 yards prior to exiting with a shoulder injury on the opening drive. Initially deemed questionable to return, Tamme never made it back into the contest, leaving Austin Hooper and Levine Toilolo to soak up all the reps at tight end. The short week hurts Tamme's chance to avoid any missed time, potentially setting Hooper up for short-term fantasy relevance. The rookie caught each of his five targets for 41 yards in Sunday's game, whereas Toilolo failed to secure his lone look.

Tamme (shoulder) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Packers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A shoulder injury forced Tamme to the locker room during the Falcons' first possession, but not before securing both targets for 19 yards. With Tamme on the sideline, Matt Ryan will have Austin Hooper and Levine Toilolo available at tight end.

Tamme is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Packers due to a shoulder injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Before his departure, Tamme gathered in both targets for 19 yards on the Falcons' first drive. If he's unable to reenter the game, tight ends Austin Hooper and Levine Toilolo are in line for additional snaps.

Tamme caught one ball for a 17-yard touchdown in Sunday's overtime loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Tamme only caught one ball on the day, but he made the most of it. He hasn't tallied more than 30 receiving yards in any of his last five games, but he does have three touchdowns on the year, giving him some value in certain leagues.

Tamme caught two balls for 16 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

This was Tamme's fourth straight game under 30 yards receiving. He does have two touchdowns in six games, but the yards just haven't been there this season. He's in a great offense, but Matt Ryan spreads the ball around too much for Tamme to get consistent looks.

Tamme caught one ball for one yard in Sunday's win over the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Quarterback Matt Ryan leads the league in passing yards through five weeks, but he only looked Tamme's way once on Sunday. He's scored two touchdowns in five weeks, but this was his second game under five yards receiving, so he's certainly not a reliable option.

Tamme (hip) is active for Sunday's game at Denver, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Broncos' defense isn't to be trifled with in most circumstances, but tight ends have hauled in 20 of 31 passes for 233 yards against them this season. Nevertheless, Tamme's catch count has dipped in each successive game, settling on two in Week 4 against the Panthers.

Tamme (hip) practiced in full Thursday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tamme may have been contained to a limited practice Wednesday in order to allow his 31-year-old body to recover from a busy first quarter of the season. Earning 71.5 percent of the offensive snaps to date, he ranks second on the Falcons in receptions (16), targets (22), and touchdowns (two) behind the beast that is Julio Jones. However, with an average reception of 9.8 yards, Tamme must keep the trust of Matt Ryan and/or reach the end zone in order to maintain his current status.

Tamme (hip) was limited in practice Wednesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Landing on the injury report for the first time this season is balanced out by the fact Tamme fit in a portion of drills to start Week 5 prep. After four outings, his production as a receiver has been sporadic, ranging from three to 75 yards in a given game, but the tight end made amends with a touchdown grab in both Week 2 and 4. Expect his status to clear up as the week rolls along.

Tamme caught both of his targets for three yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' Week 4 game against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

In a game where QB Matt Ryan attempted a franchise-high amount of passes, one may have expected the Falcons' target leader (entering Week 4) to see a larger share of Ryan's attention. However, Tamme was largely an afterthought in the offense aside from his four-yard touchdown that counted as Atlanta's first score of the game. Meanwhile, rookie third-rounder Austin Hooper flashed on a 42-yard touchdown reception later on in the game and could be making a case for additional playing time. For now, though, Tamme appears set to remain the Falcons' primary receiving tight entering a Week 5 matchup against the Broncos.
