Forney has a little time to heal
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Falcons guard Kynan Forney’s shoulder injury looked bad.
You never get use to seeing trainers walking a big guy off the field, holding his arm in place like its about to fall off.
Forney is arguably the team’s best linemen and the least known potential star around the league because of the team’s ridiculous one lineman a week spokesman policy. (Alex Gibbs may be the cut-block master, but he’s killing us media types. The linemen are usually the nicest and brightest guys on the team to deal with. Hear this Gibbs: “YOU’RE KILLING US!!!)
OK, back to the blog — Despite that coach Jim Mora said Forney could have played if they had a game this week and put his shoulder in a harness, for him the bye week could not have come at a better time.
Linebackers John Abraham and Ed Hartwell have been afforded lengthy recovery periods from a groin injury and knee surgeries, respectively.
But it looks like Forney, the anchor of the line, is going to have to suck it up and get back out there against the New York Giants.
