Falcons injury report: Six players ruled out vs. Lions

Six players, including rookie LB Troy Andersen and safety Jaylinn Hawkins, have been ruled out of the Falcons’ preseason game vs. the Lions.

The Atlanta Falcons have made it through the first two weeks of training camp with very few injuries, aside from their recent string of bad luck at the defensive tackle position.

Nonetheless, the team is mostly healthy heading into Friday’s preseason opener against the Detroit Lions, which starts at 6:00 p.m. ET, at Ford Field in Detroit.

Atlanta has released its first official injury report ahead of tonight’s matchup and six players have been ruled out.
