Lamar Holmes injury: Tackle broke foot at Tuesday's minicamp

It's heartbreaking news for a player who showed up motivated and in shape.

The Falcons just released Sam Baker, so of course one of their tackles would go down with an injury just days later, per Dan Quinn.

This is awful news for Holmes and lousy for the Falcons, too. It's currently unknown how Holmes suffered the injury.

He had shown up to camp slimmed down and looking pretty good, and figured to at least compete for a reserve role with Tyler Polumbus, if not the starting right tackle gig with Ryan Schraeder.
