Source: Falcons safety Wilcox suffers ACL injury

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons safety J.J. Wilcox suffered an ACL injury on the first day of training camp, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Wilcox is scheduled to get a second opinion on his right knee to determine the severity. The Falcons won't address the severity of the injury until coach Dan Quinn meets with the media following Tuesday's practice.

Following Monday's practice, Quinn did not address the injuries suffered by both Wilcox and reserve defensive lineman Michael Bennett, who appeared to injure his right ankle while being blocked by rookie first-round right guard Chris Lindstrom.
