Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman Marlon Davidson made the trip to Miami but is not expected to play in the team's second preseason game.
Davidson, who impressed in the team's first preseason game with a sack and a quarterback hit, was held out of Monday's practice with a knee injury.
According to head coach Arthur Smith, holding Davidson from Saturday's game against the Dolphins is strictly precautionary.
“There’s nothing long term with Marlon,” said Smith. “It’s trying to be smart, being proactive. It won’t be a long-term thing and I wont anticipate him going down to Miami but I’m not concerned that it’s long term… That’s the plan right now.”
Davidson only played eight games in his first year with the Falcons in 2020 due to injuries and time on the Covid-19 reserve list.
