When we say Benkert turned heads of Atlanta Falcons fans, we aren’t speaking in a way that there would be a quarterback controversy between him and Matt Ryan. Simply, he obviously has improved since the last time we saw him on the field and he was much better than current backup Matt Schaub.
We have agreed to terms with OL Tommy Doles and have placed QB Kurt Benkert on IR.https://t.co/GsbGwLdLLm

Unfortunately, the Falcons confirmed today that Benkert is headed to the IR and is going to be done for the season.
