Falcons tight end Levine Toilolo missed the game against the Steelers on Sunday for personal reasons.

“It was a personal issue and he’ll be back with the team (on Monday),” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “He was excused over the weekend due to a personal matter. Everything is fine with him and he’ll back at practice tomorrow.”
