Falcons vs. Washington: Robert Alford looks like he’ll be sitting out Week 9

Robert Alford was at practice on Friday, but he wasn’t wearing a helmet and wasn’t running. The natural assumption is that without practice on Friday, Alford won’t suit up Sunday, and all signs point to that outcome.

Vaughn McClure at ESPN reports on Twitter that Alford will be out out for Sunday, and appends an ominous note to that.

Robert Alford can’t run at all. Will be interesting to see how long he’s out. Falcons confident in rookie Isaiah Oliver

We have no idea what happened to Alford—was he injured against the Giants?
