Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) has not been ruled out for Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, head coach Dan Quinn said.

Ryan suffered a sprained right ankle in the Falcons' blowout Week 7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. "Hopefully it's not a long-term thing," Quinn said, adding that more will be known on Ryan's status later this week.
