The Atlanta Falcons stumbled their way to a 6-1 today, narrowly avoiding their second loss. They were remarkably healthy going into the game, benefitting from a 10 day break following their loss to the division rival New Orleans Saints. But that would change quickly as there was several notable injuries in today's game. Let's break them down.
Leonard Hankerson was apparently dealing with a groin injury all week in practice. Hankerson left the game shortly after it started and was later seen on the sideline in a tracksuit. Nick Williams filled in admirably in his absence. I'll say this about Williams: the kid can get open.
