Jake Matthews Ruled Out With Groin Injury In Monday Night Matchup

Atlanta Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews was ruled out of Monday night's game against the New Orleans Saints due to a groin injury sustained in the first quarter. The injury puts his consecutive start streak—the longest active run in the NFL at 199 games—in jeopardy. Matthews watched the remainder of the scoring drive from the sideline after leaving the field, with Michael Jerrell stepping in at left terminal. It remains unclear if the issue will impact Sunday's game.
