Practice No. 1 of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp has come and gone, and the Mike McCarthy era is one step closer to officially beginning when the Steelers host the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. While the offense was, and will continue to be, what fans tend to have more interest in with McCarthy running the […]
The Braves couldn’t get the job done for the second consecutive game against the Mets, falling in the first game of their doubleheader by a score of 3-2. The offense essentially didn’t show up to the ballpark. The only signs of life came in the sixth inning, when a Drake Baldwin double followed by a […]
In the offseason, the Atlanta Braves appeared to have an embarrassment of riches in their starting rotation. Not only was the group full, but Atlanta looked like it would have to make some difficult decisions just to narrow the rotation down to five starters. Chris Sale was the unquestioned ace of the staff. Spencer Schwellenbach […] The post Are the Royals the Perfect Trade Partner for the Braves? appeared first on Just Baseball .
After trouncing the Braves in the first game of their series, the Mets’ pulled off a less dramatic win, taking the matinee 3-2 with a nightcap to follow. The first four and a half innings of this game looked very similar on both sides of the ball. Both teams committed errors, both allowed some baserunners […]
According to Mike Kaye, the Panthers plan to sign WR Casey Washington to the roster. They need extra depth at receiver following the injury to third-round WR Chris Brazzell II today. The team later confirmed the move and announced WR Dan Chisena was placed on season-ending injured reserve. Washington, 25, was drafted by the Falcons […] The post Panthers Signing WR Casey Washington appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .
Falcons football is officially back, and the first day of training camp is in the books. What a doozy it was, too. As soon as I got to Flowery Branch, the news broke that Trevor Siemian was being released with an injury settlement, in addition to a handful of other roster moves. Michael Penix still […]
The Miami Dolphins started their first training camp without Tua Tagovailoa in six years. The Atlanta Falcons started their camp without him, too.
The Atlanta Braves made the ultra-aggressive move to promote their star infield prospect Tate Southisene to Double-A at the age of 19 after just 104 professional games, but his run with the Clingstones is going to have an unfortunate interruption. In the second inning of his debut on Tuesday night Southisene was hit in the […]
Rise and shine, Braves country! A Wednesday split doubleheader is at your service. Chris Sale is on the mound for the Atlanta Braves to face the New York Mets in today’s second game of the doubleheader in this three-game series. With a 2.19 ERA, Sale has been a dominant force on the mound that continues […]
As spectacular as Jalen Johnson was last season, he fell short defensively, but all of the recent movement should help him return to form on that end.
After Tuesday’s game was rained out, the Braves will (weather permitting) close out their 2026 slate of Mets road games with a Wednesday doubleheader which is scheduled to begin at 1:10 p.m. ET. AJ Smith-Shawver is set to make his season debut at the major league level for the Braves after completing his rehabilitation from […]
Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski announced Wednesday morning that QB Michael Penix Jr. has not been cleared to participate in 11-on-11 work to start training camp, per Tori McElhaney.

Kevin Stefanski wouldn’t have expected the kind of start he’s having at training camp as the Atlanta Falcons‘ first-year head coach. Just last year, Atlanta had Michael Penix Jr. as the starting quarterback and veteran Kirk Cousins to back him up. Now, they still have Penix Jr. on the roster and have also signed former […] The post Falcons Forced to Sign Veteran NFL QB Amid Tua Tagovailoa’s Back Injury and Michael Penix Jr.’s Knee Concerns appeared first on EssentiallySports .
It’s a nice enough day for baseball, even in New York City. So why not have a doubleheader, no? The Braves returned RHP AJ Smith-Shawver from his rehabilitation assignment, reinstated him from the injured list, and appointed him as the 27th man for today’s doubleheader. AJ makes his first start since May 29th in Philadelphia. […]
On paper, the Braves and the Blue Jays make perfect sense as trade partners. The Braves are obvious buyers sitting atop the NL East, while the Blue Jays are in last place in the AL East and 5.5 games back of the final wild card spot with several teams between them. They are likely sellers, […]

Over the last several years, talented position player prospects in the Braves farm system have been few and far between. The good news is the couple they had — Michael Harris II and Drake Baldwin — turned into superstars. But the depth was severely lacking. That’s been flipped on its head this season. More than […]
Onyeka Okongwu's catch-and-shoot ability has given the Hawks an entirely new outlook on their center of the future.
There is so much to talk about for the Braves minor league system from the opener of this week’s action. The Tate Southisene hit by pitch that forced him from the game is the news that could have the biggest ramifications on the rest of the season, but it was by far the low point […]
With the calendar about to turn to August, the Braves get another pitcher back off the injured list to make his season debut in the opening game of Wednesday’s road doubleheader at the New York Mets.

A number of Falcons injury updates surfaced Wednesday in some form or fashion, beginning with the most important position on the field. As it stands, neither of Atlanta’s potential starting quarterbacks is healthy. Kevin Stefanski said on 92.9 The Game that Michael Penix Jr. still hasn’t been medically cleared for team drills, so he remains […]
After announcing that Tua Tagovailoa is dealing with some minor back tightness and will be out possibly until next week, and given that Michael Penix Jr. isn’t yet medically cleared and the Falcons announced Trevor Siemian’s release on Wednesday morning, the Falcons have added to their QB depth chart. Welcome to Atlanta, Cooper Rush. Rush […]
