Falcons’ Bryan Edwards leaves practice with injury

FLOWERY BRANCH – Falcons wide receiver Bryan Edwards, a projected starter, left the field late in practice Saturday with an injury.

“We’ll see,” Falcons coach Arthur Smith said. “It wasn’t bad, I guess. Until you get all of the imaging, you don’t know for sure. Right there, just looking at it initially, I don’t think it was that bad, but we’ll see.”
