The Atlanta Falcons may have suffered a serious injury in the first half of their preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Linebacker Dorian Etheridge was carted off the field with what appeared to be a knee injury late in the second quarter.
LB Dorian Etheridge down for the Falcons. Appears they are looking at his left knee/leg.

While there’s been no official update, it seems unlikely Etheridge will return to the game. In the meantime, rookie LB Troy Andersen has stepped in for Etheridge.
The Falcons currently lead the Jaguars, 14-6, as the first half winds down.
