The Facts: Norwood, the Falcons’ No. 2 running back, has left the game against the Carolina Panthers with a head injury.

Diehards Line:Norwood was hurt in the first quarter Sunday, apparently when taking a hard hit at the end of a 6-yard run. He watched the rest of the opening half from the sideline; the team said his return was questionable. Jason Snelling took over as Michael Turner’s backup and caught the first touchdown pass of his career, a 10-yarder in the second period.
