Durant Suffers Elbow Sprain

Atlanta’s leading tackler, Justin Durant, suffered an elbow injury in the first quarter of Sunday’s win over the Houston Texans.

Head coach Dan Quinn provided an update on Durant’s injury on Monday at his weekly press conference:

“Justin Durant sprained his elbow. We’ll see how he progresses through the week. He’ll visit again with the doctor on Thursday.”

Durant has a team-high 27 tackles on the season, 21 of them solo.

Third-year linebacker Joplo Bartu filled in for Durant for the remainder of the game and recorded two tackles on the day.
