Atlanta Falcons center Drew Dalman, a key part of Atlanta's offensive line, will miss time after tests showed he suffered a high left ankle sprain, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Dalman, 25, is a candidate for injured reserve, but the Falcons have not announced an official roster move as of Tuesday afternoon. Dalman was injured and came out of the game in the second quarter Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Dalman, a free agent after this season, was replaced by backup offensive lineman Ryan Neuzil. The Falcons struggled in the immediate aftermath of Dalman's injury, as Kirk Cousins fumbled two straight snaps before Neuzil and the offense settled down.
Cousins said after the game Sunday night that he will benefit from more time working with Neuzil in practice, implying he was aware Dalman would miss time.
The Falcons also lost right tackle Kaleb McGary, who left the game in the second quarter due to a knee injury. Falcons coach Raheem Morris said he'd have more information about both injuries later this week.
