Abraham left the game in the second quarter and did not return. FOX put a camera on him a few times while sitting on the sidelines, clearly frustrated with his inability to play.
"After a while, I just couldn't push off of it anymore," Abraham told the media afterwards. His ankle was initially injured during the fourth quarter of the Falcons final regular season game against the Buccaneers.
