Deablo Injury Update: Good News for Falcons Defense | Atlanta Falcons News

Falcons’ defense gets a major boost as linebacker Divine Deablo’s injury looks minor — he won’t practice today but is expected back soon, avoiding a potentially devastating blow. With Jalon Walker already out for the season and Jessie Bates III banged up, this update comes at the perfect time. Deablo was set to take on a leadership role as the new “green dot” after Kaden Elliss left, and losing him before his debut would’ve been disastrous. Rookie starters Kendal Daniels and Harold Perkins Jr. showed promise, but starting both wasn’t ideal. The team dodged a bullet — Deablo should be ready for Week One, giving the thin defense a crucial lifeline. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
