Upgraded to available Wheeler (ankle) has been cleared to play Thursday against Atlanta.

Impact Wheeler sat out of Tuesday's game against Connecticut with an ankle injury, but she'll be back in the mix for Thursday's contest. She started August strong by scoring in double figures in four straight games, but she cooled off in the following three appearances before picking up the ankle issue.
