The Atlanta Falcons don't have much depth along their defensive line. That shallow depth will be tested Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

That's because defensive end Steven Means left with an injury. Means suffered the injury on the first play of the second quarter.

Tampa Bay scored a touchdown three plays after Means left.

Means looked to be in pain and stayed on the field for a couple minutes, but he was able to get up and walk to the sidelines on his own.

While the score just after Means exited gave the Buccaneers' a 14-point lead, the Falcons answered with their first touchdown of the season on the following drive. 

Atlanta trails Tampa Bay 14-7 with about 10 minutes left in the first half.
