Taylor Heinicke Dealing With "Low-Grade" Injury
Taylor Heinicke Dealing With "Low-Grade" Injury
one year ago
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke's hamstring injury is considered "low-grade," according to head coach Arthur Smith. Heinicke injured his hamstring in the fourth quarter of the Week 10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and was replaced by Desmond Ridder to close out the game. With a bye coming in Week 11, Heinicke could have sufficient time to heal up to be ready for the Week 12 contest versus the division-rival New Orleans Saints. However, the Falcons could choose to go back to Ridder as well with Heinicke not really doing much to impress as the starter the last two weeks. Smith said the team is going to evaluate the position and will not make a decision until they return from their bye.
