Austin Hooper limps heavily and leaves field after Demario Davis tackle

The top tight end in the league in 2019 took a low hit in the 4th quarter against the New Orleans Saints. Matt Ryan was heavily pressured on third down, resulting in a short check down to Austin Hooper.

Usually, those still turn out pretty well. Demario Davis, already heading to a turning Hooper while being blocked, ended up hitting Hooper low. The tackle did not look bad, but Hooper went to the ground and was in obvious discomfort.

Hooper limped heavily off the field and went immediately to the medical tent.
