Atlanta Falcons safety DeMarcco Hellams was injured during the preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins.
Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said in his press conference Monday morning Hellams will miss "significant time" with an ankle injury.
Hellams was eventually helped to his feet with his arms wrapped around a pair of trainers. He was helped to the back of the cart and taken off the field with his lower left leg in air cast. Teammates came over and embraced him before he was driven to the locker room. He has impressed the Falcons' new defensive staff this summer with his work ethic and mental growth and served largely as the team's No. 3 safety in camp, taking a handful of first-team snaps next to Jessie Bates III.
