GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke was ruled out during the fourth quarter of his team's game against the Arizona Cardinals after suffering a hamstring injury.

Heinicke was injured on an 8-yard scramble early in the fourth quarter and sat on the ground for about a minute before walking to the sideline. He immediately went into the blue tent and backup quarterback Desmond Ridder, who Heinicke replaced as the starting quarterback last week, re-entered the game.

Heinicke was 8 of 15 for 55 yards and a touchdown along with having four carries for 34 yards rushing against Arizona.
