FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons returned to practice Wednesday tied for the lead in the NFC South and all banged-up for the final month of the regular season.Coming off a disheartening loss to Kansas City, the Falcons (7-5) hit the field without top receiver Julio Jones and two other starters who were injured against the Chiefs.Jones is bothered by turf toe, left tackle Jake Matthews has a knee problem, and receiver Mohamed Sanu is slowed by a sore groin.On top of that, defensive end Adrian Clayborn is definitely out for Sundays game against the Los Angeles Rams and will likely miss several more weeks with a knee injury -- if he returns at all this season. The Falcons already lost their best defender, cornerback Desmond Trufant, to a season-ending pectoral injury.Thats the important part of having depth, coach Dan Quinn said. If youre called upon, youre here for a reason.Quinn said hes hopeful Jones, who has battled nagging injuries all season, will be able to practice Thursday and play against the Rams. Since a broken foot cost him most of the 2013 season, the receiver has missed only one game.Hes somebody that does a good job taking care of his body, Quinn said. He has a real ability to push it to get back. I know if hes able to, he certainly will.Even though turf toe is a painful condition that can lead to major issues, the coach stressed he doesnt think Jones case is that serious.This is something hes going to respond to quickly, the coach said. Its not a long-term thing hes going to be dealing with.As for Matthews and Sanu, Quinn said he would monitor their condition through the rest of the week and hopes they will be able to play against the Rams (4-8).Matthews went out in the first half of last weeks game. The trainers put a sleeve over his left knee, and he went through some running and cutting drills on the sideline to test it out.But Matthews headed to the locker room before halftime and didnt return. Tom Compton, a fourth-year player, got his first significant action of the season protecting quarterback Matt Ryans blind side.Compton turned in a solid performance, but the Falcons cant afford to lose Matthews for an extended period. The No. 6 overall pick in 2014, he had stepped up his play significantly this season.Jakes really playing at a high level, Quinn said. You can see it his pass protection. You can see it in the run game. His play took a significant jump from 2015 to 2016.Clayborn underwent surgery to repair a torn medial collateral ligament shortly after being hurt in a Nov. 27 game against Arizona. Quinn hasnt ruled out a return this season, but the Falcons moved to bolster their depth on the defensive line by bringing back Malliciah Goodman.A fourth-round pick in 2013, Goodman appeared in 34 games, including 11 starts, before he was cut in September near the end of training camp. He played one game this season at Seattle.The Falcons also promoted offensive lineman Kevin Graf from the practice squad in case Matthews isnt able to play Sunday. To make room on the roster for two new players, Atlanta waived defensive lineman Cliff Matthews and center Trevor Robinson.While there were no immediate moves to address the injuries to Jones and Sanu, Quinn noted hes got two receivers on the practice squad, Nick Williams and J.D. McKissic. Thats where Atlanta would turn if necessary.The Falcons have led the NFC South much of the season, but now theyve got company in the top spot. Tampa Bay (7-5) has won four straight to pull into a tie with Atlanta, which has lost two of its last three games.A year ago, the Falcons collapsed down the stretch after starting 6-1. They finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs for the third year in a row.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

The Clippers were angry about blowing a big lead; the Kings didnt like being in that kind of hole and nearly digging themselves out only to lose. MONTREAL -- After being run into for a second time in one period, ever-steady Canadiens goaltender Carey Price lost it.Price, who missed most of last season with a knee injury, pummeled New Jersey forward Kyle Palmieri with his blocker in the first period of Montreals 5-2 victory over the Devils on Thursday night.Earlier in the period, Price was bumped by Adam Henrique as the Devils center scored a goal. After Palmieri slid into Prices knees, the goaltender jumped on him and pounded on his head and back.I got run over on the first goal and then I took another one and I got fired up, I guess, Price said.Palmieri got a minor for goalie interference while Price got 4 minutes for roughing.It was nice to see the fire, Montreals Torrey Mitchell said. Everyone thinks hes just a calm, laid back guy, but hes competitive.All of us in here know that, so it was nice to see him fight back a little bit there. Obviously we dont want him doing that. We want to step in for him. But hes a competitive guy, so it was nice to see.Palmieri, who was dragged away by Jeff Petry as Price kept swinging, called it just a hockey play.Ive done it probably 50 to 100 times in my career. You go to the net and either its a trip or a push or you lose an edge. Its going to the net. Thats where you score goals. You go to the net, try to put a good shot on and you lose control.I dont know the rule, but any time youre on the ice defenseless and youre taking a blocker to the back of the head, its not a great situation to be in.Price settled down the rest of the way and made 19 saves while the Canadiens fired a season-high 49 shots at Cory Schneider.Mitchell scored twice and Phillip Danault, Artturi Lehkonen and Max Pacioretty also had goals for the Canadiens in their return from a five-game trip.Henrique scored a goal and set up one by Taylor Hall for New Jersey, which ended a two-game wiinning streak.ddddddddddddA wild first period included three goals, four goal reviews and Prices meltdown.Danault, who skipped the team skate Thursday morning due to an illness, opened the scoring at 12:49 on a disputed goal when he tipped Nathan Beaulieus shot past Schneider. It stood through an official review for a high stick and Devils coach John Hynes challenge that Schneider was interfered with by Danault just outside the crease.Henrique tied it at 16:19 when the rebound of P.A. Parenteaus shot went off him into the net just before Henrique rammed into Price. Again, the goal was upheld after two reviews.At 17:15, Mitchell elected to shoot on a 2-on-1 and the rebound went in off New Jersey forward Nick Lappins skate. Andrew Shaw picked up his second assist of the game on the goal.There was another small bump on Schneider before Lehkonen scored into an open side at 9:59 of the second, but at that point, both coaches had used up their challenges.Pacioretty was alone in front to score on a backhand that trickled through Schneiders pads 45 seconds into the third after Alexander Radulov forced a turnover.Henrique made a clever backhand pass for Hall to score into an open side on a power play at 3:07. Hall has scored in three straight games.Mitchell reached in from behind the net to tuck in his second of the game at 15:49.Game notes Montreal announced that D Greg Pateryn, who took a shot off a foot on Tuesday in St. Louis, will be out about eight weeks with a fractured ankle. ....
