The Atlanta Falcons have lost a key backup receiver to a season-ending knee injury for the second consecutive season. But coach Mike Smith says the team doesn't need to look for help. Rookie Kerry Meier, a fifth-round draft pick from Kansas, injured his right knee during Thursday night's 28-10 preseason loss to the New England Patriots. No details of the injury were immediately available. He was placed on injured reserve. The injury came one year after Harry Douglas, who had been projected as the Falcons' No. 3 receiver, missed the 2009 season following a knee injury in training camp. The team reacted to the loss of Douglas by signing veterans Marty Booker and Robert Ferguson. Douglas returned to play against the Patriots. Starter Michael Jenkins is out with a shoulder injury, but he could be ready for the start of the regular season.
