The Falcons got a pretty strong game from Kurt Benkert, and cruelly it may be his last one for a while.
Per Ian Rapoport, Matt Simms is coming back to the Falcons and Benkert could be shelved for a while.
QB Kurt Benkert’s toe injury was described as a major one, I’m told. He looked good in game action, but this injury stings. https://t.co/rkpAAn4PTt

This is hugely disappointing, and I'm hoping it'll only cost him preseason games instead of regular season ones
Benkert tossed a touchdown and displayed a good arm and athleticism against the Broncos, while Matt Schaub had a really rough effort that only drove home how much his arm has declined since his prime.
