Atlanta fullback Ovie Mughelli has left Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions with what appeared to be a right knee injury. Mughelli caught a short pass in the fourth quarter before being upended by Detroit safety Louis Delmas, who hit Mughelli's leg. Delmas immediately put his hands on his head and motioned for Falcons personnel to come tend to Mughelli. Mughelli got up and was helped to the sideline, his right leg appearing to buckle at one point when he put pressure on it. He was then carted to the tunnel.
