Falcons' Justin Durant ruled out vs. Redskins

Atlanta Falcons linebacker Justin Durant has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins.

The Falcons will be without their leading tackler after Durant sprained his elbow during the win against the Houston Texans last Sunday. With the 30-year-old officially ruled out, Joplo Bartu will likely get the start in his place. Bartu recorded three tackles (two solo) in 70 defensive snaps against the Texans.
