Falcons again need players to step up in wake of big-name injuries

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons just can't escape the injury bug, and it could set them back again moving forward.

This time, the Falcons saw receivers Calvin Ridley and Mohamed Sanu, along with kicker Matt Bryant, get injured in Sunday's 34-29 win over Tampa Bay. Ridley suffered an ankle injury in the first half, and Sanu apparently aggravated the hip injury that limited him in practice leading up to the game. Meanwhile, Bryant appeared to injure his hamstring after nailing a 57-yard field goal that gave the Falcons the breathing room they needed for the win.
