Injury Update on Falcons’ Kendal Daniels
In a concerning incident at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta Falcons rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels was carried off the field after a collision with a Chicago Bears player while attempting a tackle.
Daniels was rushing in to take down Bears tight end Colston Loveland when he unexpectedly collided with Loveland’s knee, leading to an immediate visible reaction of pain. Teammates quickly gathered around him as he shook his head, indicating distress.

Observers in the press box noted that medical staff cut Daniels’ jersey off, and he was subsequently placed on a gurney with his body stabilized.
During the broadcast, FOX Sports announcer Kevin Burkhardt shared, “You just saw his left hand there—we’ve seen it move a couple times. He’s conscious, and every precaution is being taken to provide him the best care. I really hope he’s okay.” It’s a relief to see him moving his limbs, especially considering the potential danger associated with neck injuries in such situations.
Tom Brady, commenting during the broadcast, remarked on the difficulty teammates face watching a fellow player deal with an injury, stating, “They’re going to do their best to represent him the rest of the game.”

Up to this incident, he had contributed with 22 combined tackles, one sack, and one pass defended in five games leading up to the matchup with the Bears.
