Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke has exited Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals due to a leg injury he sustained during a fourth-quarter scramble.
Second-year quarterback Desmond Ridder has replaced Heinicke with 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Falcons trail the Cardinals, 22-17.
Q4: Desmond Ridder is back in as the Falcons quarterback.
