Atlanta Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews has been ruled out of Monday night’s game after leaving in the first quarter with a groin injury, according to Yahoo Sports.
The injury came during Matthews’ 200th career start. He had started 199 consecutive games, which the report described as the NFL’s longest active streak.
Matthews’ status for Sunday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens is uncertain. The short gap between games leaves his availability an open question.
Atlanta led 31–10 in the third quarter when the report was published. That score was a snapshot during the game, not a final result.
