Tua Tagovailoa named starting QB for preseason Week 1 against Broncos
This barely qualifies as news if you’ve been following the quarterback competition in Atlanta, but Tua Tagovailoa will indeed be the starter for the first preseason game against the Denver Broncos. He’ll throw his first pass as a Falcon sometime after 7 p.m. on Friday night. The reason this is surprising has little to do […]
The Falcons’ 2026 offensive line and the Bill Callahan effect
The Falcons’ offensive line earned major plaudits in 2022 for how well they ran the ball with limited resources. Despite being severely undermanned at quarterback and in the skill position areas, they managed to stay competitive in most games thanks to a punishing ground game. It was one of Arthur Smith’s few highlights during his […]

Finding the Top 10 Falcons in Bleacher Report’s 1000-player NFL Rankings
Before we start this exercise, close your eyes…well, read this first, and then close your eyes. Who are your top ten players for the Atlanta Falcons right now? Obviously, there’s the trio of Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, and Drake London that should be locks, but who else makes the cut? Jessie Bates is a lock […]
Falcons add RB Trey Sermon
Atlanta’s adding another veteran option to their running back group, signing Marietta native Trey Sermon to a one-year deal. Just because you have Bijan Robinson doesn’t mean you can’t worry about your depth. Sermon was a third round pick for the 49ers in 2021 and followed a familiar trajectory for a 49ers reserve runner, dealing […]
Biggest takeaways from the first week of Falcons training camp
The first week of Falcons training camp is behind us. It was an eventful seven practices, with a lot of good and, sadly, one very serious injury.

Per Will McFadden with the Falcons, Andersen […]
No more excuses: How the Falcons’ spending spree shows they still don’t get it
The Atlanta Falcons sport the second-longest active playoff drought despite being within one or two games of a playoff berth for several years in a row.

The Falcons’ secondary has all the pieces to be a special unit
Building a well-rounded secondary without any weaknesses is one of the most difficult challenges in roster construction. It takes sharp drafting, shrewd signings, and emphasis on assembling capable depth. No matter how star-studded the unit may look on paper, there must be backups on the roster who are ready to step in when necessary. That […]
Falcons training camp Day 7 news, standouts, interviews, injuries
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Falcons conducted their second padded practice on Wednesday, bringing in full (or close to full) contact tackling for the first time. As you might expect, that led to a livelier practice, and we got to see a lot more from the offensive line and run game than we have in […]
