Falcons' Kendal Daniels Carted Off on Stretcher After Third-Quarter Tackle

Daniels stayed down for several minutes after his facemask hit Colston Loveland’s knee, and trainers used a backboard before carting him off.

  • On Sunday, October 18, 2026, Atlanta Falcons rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels was carted off the field after sustaining an apparently serious injury during the third quarter against the Chicago Bears.
  • The incident occurred when Daniels attempted to tackle Bears tight end Colston Loveland, with his facemask appearing to make direct contact with Loveland's knee during the play.
  • Medical staff stabilized the 23-year-old on a backboard while players from both teams knelt nearby; fans grew quiet as trainers attended to the rookie before transporting him off the field on a cart.
  • FOX reported during the fourth quarter that Daniels was fully conscious and retained movement in his extremities, though the team ruled the linebacker out for the remainder of the game with a neck injury.
  • The Falcons have not yet released a specific diagnosis or recovery timeline for Daniels, while linebacker Divine Deablo and cornerback Avieon Terrell also left the game with arm and shoulder injuries, respectively.
