2016 sack leader Beasley to return vs. Dolphins after missing a month
Atlanta Falcons linebacker Vic Beasley - the NFL's sack leader in 2016 - will return for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins after missing the last month due to a hamstring injury, the team announced Friday.
Beasley was able to practice all week, but he stopped short of declaring himself fully fit.
"I feel good, man," Beasley said, according to ESPN's Vaughn McClure. "I feel like this is an injury, something I can play through. I wouldn't say things are going to be 100 percent because, during the season, everybody is pretty much banged up with some type of injury. I feel good enough to do what I've normally been doing."
Beasley was hurt in Week 2's win over the Green Bay Packers, and his return should boost a Falcons pass-rush that has remained effective in his absence.
