Good news and bad news for Falcons guard Matt Hennessy after he left camp with an undisclosed injury. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, the former center selected under Thomas Dimitroff has been pushed to the guard spot under Terry Fontenot. While he’s shown some promise, Hennessy has yet to solidify himself as an impact starter in his short professional career.
His timeline to turn things around with the Falcons is pretty short. He needs a strong camp to stave off competition and earn playing time. He kicked off camp with the starters at the long-problematic left guard spot.
