Questionable is the word of the day to describe the Atlanta Falcons as they try to reverse the curse in their Week 17 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Thirteen Falcons players are officially listed as questionable for the Sunday afternoon finale as the Dirty Birds try to finish with back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in franchise history.

There are some pretty big names on that list.

Despite playing in the last two games, QB Matt Ryan remains iffy with that turf toe injury, as does RB Michael Turner (ankle). Turner did not practice all week.

TE Tony Gonzalez (calf) missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, was limited Friday and has a 50-50 chance of playing Sunday.

T Sam Baker (elbow/hamstring) and WR Eric Weems (head) also might not be available to the Dirty Birds' offense.

On the other side of the ball, the Falcons might be without DE Jamaal Anderson (chest), DT Jonathan Babineaux (shoulder), LB Curtis Lofton (shoulder/hamstring), DT Thomas Johnson (knee) and S Charlie Peprah (hamstring).

Not even the special teams unit is immune at the end of this injury-plagued campaign. Both K Matt Bryant (right hamstring) and P Michael Koenen (head) did not practice Wednesday, were limited Thursday and Friday and are questionable for the last game of the season.

The Bucs have their own injury problems as they try to end the season on a positive note by winning their third straight game.

RB Derrick Ward (knee), G Jeremy Zuttah (toe), DT Roy Miller (hamstring) and DL Michael Bennet (toe) are questionable for the season finale, while TE Kellen Winslow (knee), DT Chris Hovan (illness) and C Jeff Faine (back) are listed as probable.
