The Atlanta Falcons have not been injury-free this season, but they have been fairly fortunate with their injury reports. The past few weeks, they’ve fielded a 53 man roster that has been close to full strength, and had blessedly not lost any additional starters after Troy Andersen landed on injured reserve.
Unfortunately, that luck turned sour on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. The Falcons lost Grady Jarrett early and that loss showed up on the field, as the Falcons pass rush wilted even more than usual and their run defense scuffled for stretches against the great Derrick Henry.
