Falcons rookie Clark Phillips III carted off with lower leg injury

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Falcons rookie cornerback Clark Phillips III went down with a injury near the end of a joint practice with the Dolphins on Tuesday at Houston Baptist Training Facility.

Phillips, a fourth-round pick (138th overall) out of Utah, couldn’t put any pressure on his lower left leg and was carted off the field after an attempted pass breakup over the middle.

“He got kicked,” Falcons coach Arthur Smith said. “You just never know. We just have to get the x-ray. Just get the imaging done and we’ll see. At least he got up on his own. We’ll get that x-ray soon.”
