Falcons Preseason Roster Shake-Up | Atlanta Falcons News

Falcons head to Indy for joint practices with the Colts, where starters get heavy reps but sit out Saturday’s preseason game. Michael Penix Jr. continues rehab with individual drills and 7-on-7 work, leaving Tua Tagovailoa as the primary QB in practice while Cooper Rush and Jack Strand handle game snaps—with the starting QB decision pending. Stefanski praised a second-half turnover and rookie Strand’s play, but flagged defensive backs for being too grabby and needing better ball skills. Offensively, early-down run efficiency needs work, though the line held up against Broncos’ pass rush. Jawaan Taylor got first-team reps; Jessie Bates III and Xavier Watts practiced too. Jake Matthews is dealing with an undisclosed injury, but no major concerns. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
