CHICAGO -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke sat in front of his locker Sunday afternoon, a boot on his left foot.

It was an ankle injury, the same one that had limited him in practice Wednesday and Thursday and eventually forced him from Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Chicago Bears. And it's one that at least leaves his status in question for the regular-season finale against the New Orleans Saints -- a must-win game for Atlanta if it wants to have any chance at the postseason.
