It’s the latest edition of Falcoholinks, your essential roundup of Falcons news. Today brings scary injury news, a Wild West-style shootout in the division, and more.
The alarm bells are ringing for injuries
The Falcons are already banged up and things look like they’re about to get worse. Takk McKinley is dealing with a groin injury with an uncertain prognosis, Andy Levitre may miss time, and Derrick Shelby’s also hurt. The Falcons are still largely fine on offense—Wes Schweitzer was great filling in—but minus Takk this defense is in much worse shape than it was two weeks ago.
