Atlanta’s linebacking corps has been hit hard by injuries, including a season-ending Achilles tear by Sean Weatherspoon.

The 32-year-old Hawk won a Super Bowl ring with the Packers, the team he spent his first nine years in the NFL playing for.

The Falcons are set to host Green Bay on Oct. 30.

Hawk has 945 career tackles, including 20 sacks, and nine interceptions.
