Dee Alford ruled out of Week 5 with a concussion

The Atlanta Falcons need all hands on deck against a Tampa Bay offense that’s proving tough to stop, but unfortunately they won’t have everybody. Nickel cornerback Dee Alford has been ruled out with a concussion, leaving Antonio Hamilton to fill his cleats for the rest of the game.

Alford has scuffled at times this season, but his physicality and ball skills are needed for this secondary, and we saw Hamilton on the wrong end of a Mike Evans touchdown grab shortly after Alford was ruled out.
