The Falcons’ linebacker corps sustained a couple of ailments against Carolina. Sean Weatherspoon injured an Achilles and had an MRI on Monday. The damage looks serious, Quinn said, who added that “it doesn’t look good for a return (in 2016) at this point.”
Deion Jones (calf) got banged up, as well, but, according to Quinn, the rookie felt better on Monday than he did Sunday night. The team will monitor his progress throughout the week.
With those two ILBs injured, along with Paul Worrilow (groin) and De’Vondre Campbell (ankle), the team will consider making a roster move on Monday or Tuesday, per Quinn.
