8/02/25 | Atlanta Falcons Sign Former Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans DB. Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris admitted after signing Henry Black that the team had some concerns about depth at safety for training camp. Atlanta added Xavier Watts in the third round of the NFL Draft and Jordan Fuller during free agency, but with a 90-man roster running three and four full teams, six to eight safeties to run practice at training camp is expected. Turns out, the Falcons weren't done after signing Black. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/atlanta-falcon... |
8/02/25 | Drake London - The Atlanta Falcons' Jekyll and Hyde. Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has quickly become one of the leaders on the team with an infectious personality, tireless work ethic, and obsessive competitiveness. The fourth-year wide receiver has been one of the biggest bright spots for the Falcons in the last several seasons, and he's looking to shine even brighter with the strong-armed Michael Penix Jr. throwing him the ball this season. Despite the brightness, London admits to a darkness, in an anti-hero way, that fuels his game on Sundays. “When I'm on the field, that's like when the competitiveness comes out,” London said.

8/01/25 | Why Drake London's Role Is More Crucial Than Ever for Atlanta Falcons. With training camp in full swing, the Atlanta Falcons' wide receiver room is under the spotlight, not just because of the talent at the top, but because of the injuries testing its depth early on. Injuries are an unfortunate part of the deal in the NFL, and wide receiver Darnell Mooney has been no stranger to that agreement as a Falcon. Head coach Raheem Morris was a bit vague on Tuesday about any potential returns for Mooney, but said he could be back in “a few weeks.” The team was in a similar position last summer when Rondale Moore went down with an injury, albeit under different circumstances, and the room will look to replicate that depth this year.

7/31/25 | Atlanta Falcons Edge Bralen Trice Ready: 'I'm Back Like Nothing Happened. Through a week of Atlanta Falcons training camp at Flowery Branch, the talk all revolves around the young pass rushers. When anyone reads that sentence, Jalon Walker – the Falcons' top draft pick – or James Pearce Jr. – their other first-rounder – likely come to mind.

7/30/25 | Atlanta Falcons In for Rough Year According to Fox Sports NFL Power Rankings. NFL Reporter Ralph Vacchino released his mid-training camp NFL rankings on Monday, and the Atlanta Falcons are ranked in the bottom half of the league. Atlanta comes in at No. 25 in Vacchino's list; however, they are above two NFC South counterparts: the New Orleans Saints (No. 31) and Carolina Panthers (No. 28). There are two reasons for Atlanta's low ranking: Vacchino is not sold on Michael Penix Jr, and he thinks Atlanta added nothing on the offensive side of the ball to help the second-year quarterback.

7/30/25 | Floyd Embracing Leadership Role in First Season with Falcons. Leonard Floyd didn't go looking for a coaching role, but that role seems to have found him with the Atlanta Falcons. Floyd, who will turn 33 years old the day after he starts his 10th NFL season in September, has been the model of consistency throughout his career. Just last season with the San Francisco 49ers, he was able to continue his run of productive football. After a Week 11 injury to All-Pro edge Nick Bosa, Floyd was able to take on his role of primary pass rusher. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/floyd-embracin... |
7/29/25 | Falcons Make Pair of Roster Moves. The Atlanta Falcons announced on Tuesday via press release that they have removed cornerback Cobee Bryant and defensive lineman LaCale London from the non-football injury/illness (NFI) list. Bryant, who surprised many when he fell out of last spring's draft and became an undrafted free agent, is expected to compete for a 53-man roster spot this summer. As a result of this designation, he has yet to see any action during training camp. Meanwhile, London spent the 2024 season on the Falcons' practice squad after joining the team in 2023.

On the opposite side of the line, veteran and former Pro Bowler Jake Matthews is confident in his teammate and even jokes that McGary brings a different mentality to the football field, a sort of “ogre mentality.” Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/kaleb-mcgary-b... |
7/26/25 | Leadership Starts With Listening For Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr.. Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. may not be known as a yeller or a "hype man," but he's learned how to deliver his message in a way that reaches each unique individual, by adjusting his tone and approach depending on who he's interacting with. When asked about his leadership style, Penix gave credit to his father, who once told him that if he truly wanted to lead, he had to make the effort to understand his teammates and find the best way to reach each of them. While his introspective approach to leadership lets him connect with teammates in ways that others might not, Penix Jr. knows that trust and understanding can't be built overnight.

7/26/25 | Bucs' NFC South rivals bolster skill position with veteran free agent signing. The Atlanta Falcons have been nipping at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' heels for the NFC South crown the past couple of seasons, but luckily, the Bucs have been able to hold them off to win the division. The Falcons are hopeful that 2025 will be the year they finally break through to prevent the Bucs from winning the NFC South for a record fifth consecutive time. Atlanta has looked to improve their roster, specifically on the defensive side of the ball, this offseason, and will be ushering in second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr. as the starter. With hype building around what the Falcons could be in 2025, they have added to their wide receiver corps by signing veteran free agent DJ Chark to a one-year deal, amidst an injury to Darnell Mooney.
