When it rains, it pours and for the Atlanta Falcons it’s currently a monsoon.

After most likely losing wide receiver Julio Jones for the the remainder of the season, the Falcons will also most likely be without Roddy White for at least a week thanks to a hamstring injury.

White, who has been dealing with a high ankle sprain since training camp has been a shell of his former self and now with the additional pull of his hamstring, it may force the talented receiver to miss time.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter:

"Falcons concerned WR Roddy White could miss at least one game, possibly more, due to left hamstring he pulled Monday night."

Atlanta has a bye this week, so the worry is that White will miss Week 7 action considering Schefter is told he could miss ‘at least one game’.

Some combination of Harry Douglas, Kevin Cone and Drew Davis will take the spots vacated by the loss of Jones and White, which doesn’t sound nearly appealing to Falcon faithful, I’m sure.
