Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White has insisted that he will be "ready" to play in Sunday's season opener against New Orleans Saints.

White suffered a sprained ankle in pre-season, but said that even if he is not fully fit he will be motivated enough to take to the field.

"Come Sunday I'll be ready to go," White told ESPN. "My adrenalin will be pumping and once you get out there you've got to just go play."

White has played every regular season game for the past eight years, which is 128 in total.
