It looks like Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant just joined the unfortunate club of players who got injured while celebrating.
During the first quarter, Trufant showed off some impressive closing speed and disrupted a Derek Carr pass to Amari Cooper. Trufant was understandably jacked about denying Amari, but then he crumbled to the ground after a celebratory hop:

Considering the horrid defensive effort by the Falcons last week, that’s not what Falcons fans want to see.

Fortunately, Desmond didn’t tear his knee to shreds and is back in the game:
