The Atlanta Falcons have ruled out cornerback Natrone Brooks for the remainder of Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders after suffering a heavy hit to the head during a kick return in the second quarter.
Brooks attempted to stand after the injury, which some have called “Tua Tagovailoa levels of scary,” but was initially unable to. Fortunately, the former undrafted free agent was able to walk off the field on his own power with trainers to the locker room a scary moment in which players gathered around him.
