Quinn says shoulder injury won’t limit Beasley

Falcons coach Dan Quinn said the left shoulder injury suffered by linebacker Vic Beasley on Sunday against the Saints won’t limit the Pro Bowl linebacker and won’t prevent him from practicing this week.

“He came through the game fine,” Quinn said Monday. “It was sore, but he did a really good job.”

The injury forced Beasley to leave the game in the first quarter before returning before halftime. Beasley said his shoulder popped out of place and that he believed the injury was to his labrum. Beasley played his rookie season of 2015 with a torn labrum in the opposite shoulder.

Beasley led the NFL this season with 15.5 sacks and six forced fumbles. The Falcons selected him with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2015 draft.

The Falcons earned a bye for the opening weekend of the playoffs. They will open postseason play on Jan. 14 at the Georgia Dome against the highest-seeded NFC team to advance from among the Seahawks, Packers and Giants.
