Sam Baker Injury: Left Tackle Leaves Vs. Pats, Out For The Night

The Sunday Night Football crew just told us Sam Baker won't return tonight. Makes sense, if you saw this:

Baker may have aggravated his leg injury, but any way you slice it he's done for the night. The Falcons managed their only touchdown drive of the first half with Baker out, though it's hard to blame him solely for the Falcons' blocking woes. He finished the night with two penalties and a couple of pressures allowed. Let's hope he's healthy soon.

Lamar Holmes takes over at left tackle. Let's see if he improves in the second half.
