Roddy White to have elbow surgery, should be ready Week 1

Falcons HC Dan Quinn said WR Roddy White will have minor right elbow surgery but will be back for Week 1.

Fantasy Impact: 

McClure added in a recent story the elbow injury White suffered last week was a cause for concern. The team didn't provide many details about the injury, which sidelined White from the second preseason game against the New York Jets. Although the initial word seemed to imply nothing significant, White experienced swelling. The team said White's elbow flared up last Thursday after a light practice without pads. If you're already a White owner or plan to take a look at him, it's something to monitor. If the elbow injury leads to White to miss the start of the season, the Falcons appear to have full confidence in newcomer Leonard Hankerson stepping into a complementary role alongside Julio Jones, McClure added.
