    Wide receiver Roddy White played in his 129th consecutive game Sunday but conceded after the Atlanta Falcons' 23-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints that his sprained ankle is worse than he and the team have advertised.

    White finished Sunday's game with two catches for 19 yards. He responded Monday on Twitter to apparent backlash from fans who started him on their fantasy teams, reminding them he plays "real football."

    Sources familiar with White's condition have told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that the receiver is nursing a high ankle sprain, an injury doctors initially told White should sideline him a month. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the team has insisted White's injury isn't that severe.
