    Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, who is suffering from turf toe, has not been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. If he's able to play, it would be a near miraculous recovery from one of sports' notoriously nasty injuries. "These ligaments take about eight to 12 weeks to heal," said Dr. Steven Weinfeld, the chief of foot and ankle surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. "It's very hard to keep a professional athlete out of the game for that long, but that's usually how long they take to heal."
