FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Matt Beleskey Jersey . -- Atlanta Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon ruptured his Achilles tendon on Tuesday and will miss the 2014 season. Weatherspoon suffered the injury while running under the supervision of the teams medical staff. Weatherspoon had been held out of the organized team activities as he was continuing his recovery from a foot injury that limited him to only seven games in 2013. The loss of Weatherspoon, the teams first-round pick from Missouri in 2010, is a blow to the Falcons, whose disappointing 4-12 finish in 2013 was marked by a string of injuries. Weatherspoon has eight sacks and two interceptions in his first four seasons. Weatherspoon has managed to play a full 16 games in only one season, 2011, when he had 80 tackles and a career-high four sacks. Coach Mike Smith said in a statement released by the team on Tuesday night Weatherspoon is expected to make a full recovery following surgery. "During Seans run today with our medical staff, he suffered an injury," Smith said. "We sent Sean to the doctor for some additional testing and evaluation and unfortunately the results showed that he ruptured his Achilles tendon. "Sean had been working extremely hard to get back on the field, but regrettably he will miss the entire 2014 season. He will have a procedure done in the near future and we expect him to make a full recovery." Weatherspoons 2013 injury forced the Falcons to rely on two undrafted rookies, Joplo Bartu and Paul Worrilow. Worrilow led the team in tackles and Bartu was third. Before Weatherspoons latest injury was disclosed, Smith said Tuesday that Bartu and Worrilow have matured in the off-season. "Two guys who ended up playing a bunch of snaps for us last year have improved and matured," Smith said, referring to Worrilow and Bartu. "If you would have told me at this time last year that one was going to be our leading tackler and the other was going to play 70 per cent of the snaps I would have said I dont think so. "They are a much more mature group. We went through some growing pains with them last year that are going to pay dividends moving forward." The Falcons added four linebackers late in this years NFL draft. Notre Dames Prince Shembo was selected late in the fourth round. Syracuses Marquis Spruill was the teams fifth-round pick. Connecticuts Yawin Smallwood and South Dakotas Tyler Starr were seventh-round picks. Brandon Carlo Jersey . This is the final meeting of the season between these teams.?

The clubs former starting quarterback, assistant and head coach returned Thursday as its receivers coach. Even though the NBA season tipped off Tuesday, its not too late to sign up and play fantasy hoops using TSNs Fantasy Basketball League Manager. Gather a group of friends, or find a league to join online, draft your team, set your lineup and compete in a number of different formats. The league manager is customizable, allowing you to use the categories you prefer and scoring can be either roto-style or head-to-head. Really, the options allow you to create the league that works best for you. When you start looking at players, of course familiar names will top the list. Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Chris Paul, James Harden are probably the best of the bunch but, as it is in all fantasy sports, paying attention to position, or at the very least category, scarcity is important. For instance, there are only so many point guards that play enough, and distribute enough, to have an impact in the assists category -- of the 22 players with at least 6.0 assists per game last season, 19 were point guards plus LeBron, Kobe Bryant and Monta Ellis -- so it makes sense to address that need sooner rather than later. Similarly, there are only so many bigs to go around and while there are more players that ccan contribute to your rebounding totals (49 players with at least 6. Kevan Miller Jersey. 0 per game last season), it can be a little more challenging when it comes to blocks (34 players with 1.0 blocks per game last season), particularly because some of the top shot blockers dont necessarily contribute much else to the stat line. In any case, keep these needs in mind when it comes to filling out your lineup. Its easier to find players that can score -- 43 players over 15.0 points per game last season -- and, increasingly, shoot threes. There were 116 players that averaged at least one made three-pointer per game last season. A decade ago, in the 2003-2004 season, there were 72. Also, keep in mind that there are several notable performers injured to start the year. Kobe Bryant, Russell Westbrook, Rajon Rondo, Danillo Gallinari and Glen Davis are among the established starters on the sidelines to start the year, while rookie guards Trey Burke and C.J. McCollum could have an impact once they get healthy.
