On July 22, 2019, Atlanta Falcons safety JJ Wilcox had to be taken off the field minutes into the first training camp of the offseason. It was later determined that Wilcox tore his right knee anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Wilcox just recently signed with the Falcons and was expected to make their roster as a back up safety.

Wilcox is going to have surgery to reconstruct his ACL and will be out for the entire 2019-20 season.
