<p>The defensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons was transported to the hospital Sunday as the team was warming up ahead of their game against the New Orleans Saints.</p>
<p>&#8220;Atlanta Falcons Defensive Coordinator Dean Pees was involved in an on-field pregame collision,&#8221; the team <a href="https://www.atlantafalcons.com/news/falcons-release-statement-on-defensive-coordinator-dean-pees">said</a> in a statement. &#8220;He was stable, alert and responsive and has been transported to University Medical Center New Orleans for medical testing.&#8221;</p>
