Ito Smith (head/neck) has entered the NFL's concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Seahawks, confirmed Falcons Head Coach Dan Quinn. (D. Orlando Ledbetter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Smith was removed from the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the Rams with what were termed as head and neck injury, but follow-up tests revealed that the running back had sustained a concussion. The Falcons were not confident enough that he would clear the concussion protocol by then and have ruled him out for Week 8. Kenjon Barner or Brian Hill will backup starter Devonta Freeman.
