The Atlanta Falcons learned today that receiver Brian Finneran is out for the season after tearing up his left knee in practice. Finneran went down during a practice July 30.

The receiver shrieked in pain as he tried to cut to his left on a crossing route, and coach Jim Mora said afterward that it looked serious.
