In the Atlanta Falcons' 24-23 loss to the New England Patriots, an already-battered defense lost another key piece to injury. EDGE rusher Leonard Floyd entered the weekend nursing a hamstring injury, and re-aggravated that in Week 9, as he left and did not return against the red-hot Pats.
For an Atlanta defense that's already missing key starters in Divine Deablo and Billy Bowman Jr., it's far from the most encouraging news. But with tomorrow's NFL Trade Deadline right around the corner, it presents Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot with a golden opportunity to address the position.
