Matt Loede 
Posted in ProFootballTalk.com reports a source with knowledge of the situation said Falcons QB Matt Ryan will get a second opinion on his left ankle during the team’s Week 8 bye.
Ryan briefly left in the third quarter Sunday against the Lions after one of his own linemen stepped on his left ankle, but he returned in the Falcons’ next series, connecting with WR Harry Douglas on a 49-yard pass in his first play back. Perhaps it can’t hurt for Ryan to get his ankle looked at after the injury scare in Week 7. We just hope it’s for precautionary reasons and not because the team or Ryan feels he is injured.
