Woods (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woods was able to log a full practice Wednesday, so Thursday's session is a notable step backwards. The linebacker has missed the last three contests with the hamstring issue, so he'll look to get back to full participation at Friday's final practice of the week and play Sunday against the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis
Woods will miss his first game since Week 1 due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 10 at Indianapolis. The vast majority of his snaps so far this season have come on special teams, so Atlanta will have to try to find a way to replace his production in that category.
