It seems safe to assume that the falcons would normally have preferred to play their star running back unless he was actually unable to play effectively.

Given that assumption, there are only three options:

A) Bijan’s injury was unknown to the falcons until it was too late to disclose on the injury report.

B) Bijan was hurt, the falcons knew about it, and they were attempting to gain a competitive advantage against their opponent THIS WEEK by not disclosing the injury

C) Bijan was hurt, and the falcons were attempting to hide the nature of the injury to obtain a longer term competitive advantage.

Let’s ignore options A) and B) as they aren’t very fun to discuss. If we look at option C), what injury would the falcons look to hide? I would argue that an injury capable of keeping Bijan out multiple weeks is a clear motive to mask a more serious injury as a nebulous “headache.” This is especially true if this hidden injury would have the capacity to sideline Bijan for multiple weeks.

Let’s now think - in this era, what injury could have the potential to keep a player out multiple weeks yet be effectively disguised as a headache? CONCUSSION!

The evidence (conclusively?) points to Bijan sustaining a concussion during practice on Thursday or Friday, with the falcons minimizing a concussion by only reporting a single, innocuous symptom - a last minute “headache” - to avoid further scrutiny.

Am I crazy here?

TL;DR: Falcons hid a Bijan concussion from the nfl. Take away all the draft picks.
