Ricardo Allen out with a concussion against Saints

Ricardo Allen has been a quality starter for the Falcons throughout the year, but he and the entire Atlanta defense have struggled throughout this game against the Saints. They’ve somehow held New Orleans to 21 points despite the offense disappearing, but they’ll have to move forward without Allen.

Per the team, Allen suffered a potential head injury and will not return, with the team reporting a concussion. He has been replaced by veteran safety and core special teamer Sharrod Neasman.

Allen has been ruled out with a concussion.
