FLOWERY BRANCH — A lot of folks have been wondering if Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is injured.
He has not been listed on the injury report and has denied that he’s playing injured. However, a photo by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Curtis Compton clearly shows that Ryan wore a pretty heavy brace on his left knee against the Colts.
Early in his career, he wore a brace on his left knee for support. Sometimes, he even practiced in the brace. The brace may explain some of his footwork issues and sailing some throws because he can’t plant his left foot.
