Falcons wide receiver Devin Fuller suffered a knee injury Friday and left the practice field with a trainer.

“I know it was knee, but I don’t know what,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “I’ll have an update for you on Fuller tomorrow. (Trainer) Marty (Lauzon) said he was going to go and the (doctors) were going to be here today to evaluate him. I don’t know the severity of it yet.”

Fuller, who was drafted in the seventh round out of UCLA last season, was placed on injured reserve after suffering a shoulder injury in the exhibition season in 2016.
