Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan did not participate in the team’s practice on Tuesday due to undisclosed personal reasons. ESPN.com’s Vaughn McClure originally reported Ryan missing from the start of practice.
Many speculated that he was out due to some type of injury, but the team announced shorty after that that it was due to a family matter.
According to the Falcons, the matter was between Ryan and his wife Sarah. D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution asked Falcons media representative Brian Cearns if the absence was due to her pregnancy.
He said in response that out of respect to Ryan and his family, this information would not be disclosed (Via Fox 5 Sports).
