  Falcons | Joplo Bartu avoids suspension    Thu May 21, 07:14 PM

Atlanta Falcons LB Joplo Bartu was fined $50,000 for an alcohol-related offense after a two-game suspension was rescinded, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.

Footballguys view: Bartu started 27 games over the last two years, but he will have to fight for a roster spot in 2015 due to the additions the Falcons made this offseason.

  Falcons | Sean Weatherspoon ruptures Achilles'    Tue Jun 10, 09:02 PM

Atlanta Falcons LB Sean Weatherspoon (Achilles') suffered a ruptured Achilles' tendong Tuesday, June 10, and he will miss the 2014 season.

Footballguys view: This is a huge blow for the Falcons defense. Weatherspoon was recovering from the knee injury that knocked him out of nine games last year. Overall, Weatherspoon has missed 12 games over the last two seasons. The Falcons will be in scramble mode without Weatherspoon. We'll see rookie Prince Shembo get a larger role now. The Falcons are going to have a tough time stopping anybody, and that's good news for their offense. They'll have to win plenty of high-scoring games in 2014.
