In the wake of Divine Deablo's injury, J.D. Bertrand stepped up as the Atlanta Falcons' starting linebacker, but his performance against the Miami Dolphins raised concerns about the team's lack of depth and development at the position. Despite a heavy workload, Bertrand struggled, allowing eight catches and two touchdowns on nine targets, contributing to a low grading and a near-perfect passer rating for the opposing quarterback. With Deablo out for at least three more games, the Falcons must address their linebacker issues urgently to avoid putting unnecessary pressure on their backups.
