Divine Deablo - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Won't play Week 10 Deablo (forearm) was downgraded from doubtful to out Saturday ahead of Sunday's clash against Kansas City, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Deablo suffered a forearm injury Week 6 against Chicago and missed Atlanta's subsequent two games. He returned to face the Bengals last Sunday but apparently aggravated the issue, and he didn't practice Thursday or Friday this week. With Deablo now ruled out against the Chiefs, Harold Perkins should get a healthy dose of defensive snaps at linebacker.

Unlikely to play against Kansas City Deablo (forearm) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Deablo was cleared to return for Week 9 against the Bengals after missing the Falcons' two prior games due to a forearm injury. He may have aggravated the injury against Cincinnati, and he logged consecutive DNP's to end Week 10 prep. He hasn't been ruled out yet, but assuming Deablo doesn't play, then Harold Perkins would be the top candidate to start alongside Kendal Daniels at inside linebacker.
