The Facts: Hankerson, who has emerged as their No. 2 target and reduced Roddy White's role, wasquestionable to return to today's game against Washington with a rib injury.

Diehards Line:Hankerson tried to continue after taking a hard shot, but was unable, and walked to the locker room. He returned in the second half, however. Star wideout Julio Jones has been limited thus far, with a couple of dropped passes. So with their offense off to a sluggish start, the Falcons might need a whole lot more out of Hankerson.
