It was unclear when Garcia was hurt. The 38-year-old finished the game Sunday, throwing an interception that halted a potential game-winning drive in a 24-20 loss.

Coach Jon Gruden did not specify which ankle was injured, but said the four-time Pro Bowl selection apparently was hurt late in the game and had some swelling. If he can't play against the Falcons, Brian Griese likely will start the home opener.

Garcia was not sharp Sunday after missing most of training camp and the preseason because of a right calf strain. His preparation for New Orleans also was affected by a jammed pinkie finger on his throwing hand.

"Obviously he's had the calf, the pinkie, and now he's got an ankle," Gruden said. "He's going to be questionable."

Two other players, linebacker Derrick Brooks (right hamstring strain) and backup receiver Maurice Stovall (neck strain) also are questionable for Sunday against the Falcons, who opened with a win over Detroit.

Brooks, who was injured in the third quarter Sunday, has made 192 consecutive starts, the NFL's longest streak among active defensive players. Neither he nor Garcia were available for comment.
