The Atlanta Falcons might boast the best defense in the NFL through six weeks, but that unit just received a major loss on Sunday Night Football. After leaving the game early in the first quarter, star linebacker Divine Deablo will not return in Week 7 due to a forearm injury.
The 27-year-old signed a two-year $14 million deal with the Dirty Birds this offseason, and has made an instant impact for Jeff Ulbrich's defense. His 23 tackles rank fourth in the team, but as a converted safety, his sideline-to-sideline speed has become a crucial asset in pass coverage.
