The Atlanta Falcons haven’t had great injury luck so far this season, and that continued on Sunday against the Chicago Bears in Week 6.

Early in the game, Michael Penix Jr. went to the blue medical tent, but he was able to stay in the game, so that could’ve been worse. The fortunes weren’t as good for linebacker Divine Deablo.

Deablo was initially deemed questionable to return, but the news got worse, not better.

Divine Deablo Injury Update

Deablo was ruled out for the remainder of the game by an official announcement from the Falcons.

He had an arm injury, and they announced even before the half that they wouldn’t have Deablo the rest of the way.

Deablo is a crucial player for the Falcons — he’s their “green dot,” meaning he’s the guy who relays the play calls in to the defense.

Without Deablo, that duty has to change.

They gave the green dot to Kendal Daniels, a rookie.

And the middle linebacker now in the game for Deablo is Josh Woods, another rookie.
