Boy, oh, boy, this is cooking up to be a long season... Receivers are becoming scarce... From "The REAL Feed":

Julio Jones will miss rest of Atlanta Falcons' season (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000259921/article/julio-jones-will-miss-rest-of-atlanta-falcons-season)

And, then, to add in...jury to injury ...

ESPN: NFL (09.10.2013 08:38)
The injury-ravaged Atlanta Falcons are concerned that wide receiver Roddy White could miss at least one game because of a left hamstring injury, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
