FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Michael Jenkins will miss four to six weeks with a right shoulder injury.

Falcons coach Mike Smith said that “you are always concerned anytime any of your players goes down with an injury.” He added the he hopes to get Jenkins back as soon as possible.
Jenkins is entering his seventh season. The 6-foot-4 receiver has appeared in 92 games with 235 receptions for 3,007 yards and 18 touchdowns.
