The Atlanta Falcons will have to find a way to carry on without their top pass rusher.

Linebacker Vic Beasley has a slight hamstring tear and is expected to miss at least a month, according to multiple reports. Zach Klein of WSB-TV was the first to report the news.

Beasley had a sack in each of the Falcons' first two games, including Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. He led the NFL with 15 1/2 sacks in 2016.
