Austin Hooper injury is a big blow for the Falcons

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper was injured on Sunday and he is expected to miss some time according to NFL.com NFL Insider Ian Rapoport.

The injury bug continues to bite the Atlanta Falcons and just like the injury to Keanu Neal, this one really hurts the team. He’s been the most dependable receiver for the Falcons this year and was the league leader in receptions at tight end spot. Now the Falcons must find someone to step in and pick up jus slack.

We know that Julio Jones will always show up to play and even though Calvin Ridley is up and down, the team knows he can produce at a high level as well.
