Brandon Dorlus, the defensive tackle for the Atlanta Falcons, has been ruled out for Monday Night Football due to a knee injury. The injury occurred early in the third quarter of the game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Injury Details and Impact

Dorlus experienced significant trouble after sustaining the injury, requiring assistance to leave the field. Reports indicate he was unable to put pressure on his knee as he exited. Prior to his injury, Dorlus had recorded a sack against Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, increasing his season total to 8.5 sacks, which ties him for the team lead.

Season Performance Overview

Before his injury, Dorlus was a key player for the Falcons. Below are his performance statistics:

  • Total Tackles: 26
  • Solo Tackles: 14
  • Sacks: 7.5

This injury is a significant setback for the Falcons’ defense, especially considering Dorlus’s role in limiting the Rams to just three points while he was on the field. His presence was vital in the team’s overall defensive strategy.

The Falcons will need to adjust their defensive lineup as they prepare for upcoming challenges without one of their leading defenders.
