FLOWERY BRANCH — Matt Hennessy made his first start of the season at left guard for the Falcons on Sunday but left the game with a knee injury. Colby Gossett came on in relief as the Chargers posted a 20-17 victory at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Also, tight end Feleipe Franks left the game with a calf injury.
Hennessy played 50 of 61 offensive snaps (82%), and Gossett played the remaining 11 snaps. With Elijah Wilkinson placed on injured reserve, the Falcons are now thin at left guard. Center/guard Ryan Neuzil is on the practice squad. He was promoted for the Chargers game and played four snaps on special teams. Jalen Mayfield, last season’s starter, remains on injured reserve.
Cornerback Rashad Fenton, who was acquired in a trade with the Chiefs, played five snaps on special teams.
