​Atlanta Falcons rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels suffered a severe neck injury in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears and has been ruled out, according to team reporter William McFadden. Daniels was on the ground for several minutes in a scary moment at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The rookie took a big hit to the head with his neck as he went down to the ground and the entire team gathered on one knee. The Falcons will look to Josh Woods to replace Daniels for the rest of Sunday’s game against the Bears.Daniels has been spectacular this season, starting all six games this season and recording 23 tackles (12 solo) and one sack. Atlanta already lost starting linebacker Divine Deablo to an arm injury earlier in the game, so rookie Harold Perkins Jr. will have to play an even bigger role down the stretch.
