Roddy White Injury: Update on Atlanta Falcons Star's Injury

Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White was just crushed after making a reception and limped off the field with an apparent injury.

He stumbled off and looked shaken up after getting hit near his head by Minnesota Vikings defender Chad Greenway.

Apparently it was not that serious, as he has returned to the game.

Fantasy Impact

White is an elite receiver, and his absence would severely hurt any team that he is currently owned by.

He already has six catches for 58 yards and a TD today and can be counted on a weekly basis to produce.

Who's the Backup?

Harry Douglas and Julio Jones would be counted on to pick up the slack if White ever goes down.

They are both capable receivers, and Jones looks like a future superstar in this league after his solid rookie season thus far.

Devastation Scale

Just a one. If White were injured for more than a few plays, this would have been a major blow to the Falcons, who are attempting to make it back to the playoffs and avenge their divisional-round loss to the Packers last year.

Since White has returned and the injury doesn’t seem serious, it should not affect the team.

Look for the receiver to be more cautious after his receptions the rest of the game.

Timeline for Return

White has already returned to action after missing just two plays.

Look for him to continue dominating this Vikings secondary that has been having trouble containing him all day long.
