Because divine Deablo was out with an arm injury, kendal Daniels wore the green dot as the defensive playcaller at the time of the injury. He lost his balance or dove forward awkwardly as he went too low to wrap his arms around Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland.
“He said, ‘Y’all go finish this off. He was in good spirits,” Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. said. Atlanta Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters that Daniels’ reports were good.
The footage covering Kendal Daniels’ injury is absolutely unclear. One cannot determine what exactly happened to the Atlanta Falcons rookie linebacker. The injury happened in a split second. Kendal Daniels was stumbling, and his head was down. His low-lying tackle attempt landed his head on Loveland’s knee. On the way off the field, he made a fist with his hand. He had movement in his extremities on the field. The coach complimented the medical staff for doing an outstanding job of getting him safely off the gridiron. With Daniels out, linebacker Josh Woods took over the green dot. Daniels is a 4th-round draft pick out of Oklahoma.
