The Facts:
The Falcons' worst fears were realized Monday when an MRI examination confirmed that Finneran sustained a season-ending injury during a Sunday night practice. Finneran will be placed on injured reserve for the year after the exam revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament and possible ancillary damage to the knee.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Although he's the team's No. 3 wide receiver, Finneran led Atlanta's wideouts with 50 receptions last season and is the team’s most clutch third down weapon. The personnel department is looking for free agents, but none might be available that are any better than the lot already on the roster. Jerome Pathon will assume Finneran’s role now, but the coaches seem to be very high on rookie Adam Jennings, a diminutive sixth round pick drafted to be a special teams player.
