Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris offered an injury update on safety DeMarcco Hellams and outside linebacker Bralen Trice after Friday night's preseason game against the Miami Dolphins.
After losing an offensive weapon in Moore, Atlanta saw two defensive role players in safety DeMarcco Hellams and outside linebacker Bralen Trice go down with injuries in the first half of Friday night's game at Hard Rock Stadium.
The 24-year-old 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 an air cast. Teammates came over and embraced him before he was driven to the locker room.in the first half. He rolled on the ground in pain for a handful of seconds before receiving medical attention.
Neither Hellams nor Trice returned to the game after their departure. Atlanta ultimately lost, 20-13, but the preseason is designed to be a ramp-up period filled with learning lessons for young players -- and Morris, when explaining his motives for playing Hellams and Trice, cited the opportunity to grow as an important factor in the risk versus reward nature of his decision.
