FLOWERY BRANCH — Here's everything you need to know about the Falcons (4-0), who host the Washington Redskins (2-2) at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Georgia Dome, this morning:

  1. It's Finishing Friday. The Falcons will focus on finishing in their 11:30 a.m. practice. Coach Dan Quinn will address the media after practice followed by an open locker room session.
  2. DVR alert. Quinn, general manager Thomas Dimitroff and wide receiver Julio Jones will appear on NFL Network's NFL GameDay First at 7 a.m and NFL GameDay Morning at 9 a.m. on Sunday. We'll post some previews for you later.
  3. Final injury report. Quinn will release the team's final injury report. He'll give us an update on linebacker Justin Durant, who went to see the doctor on Thursday for his elbow injury. He hasn't practice all week. We don't expect him to play. However, running back Tevin Coleman is going to play and split time with Devonta Freeman, according to Roddy White.
  4. ICYMI – The offensive line is the top rated unit in the league through the first quarter of the season by profootballfocus.com.
  5. Series record. This will be the 24th regular-season meeting with the Washington Redskins, who hold a 14-8-1 lead over the Falcons. However, the Falcons have won the last four meetings, including a 27-16 win at the Georgia Dome last season.
