In a somewhat surprising development, Michael Penix Jr. was among the inactive players for the Falcons matchup with the Ravens in the second week of the preseason. It’s also already been determined that he will not be playing in the final preseason matchup either. He’s essentially done for the year unless Kirk Cousins gets injured,
This time last year, Alex Anthopoulos was being heralded for not only building a team that was on its way to its sixth straight NL East title, but also locking up his core group for the foreseeable future for what most people considered a bargain. It was almost a running joke in the baseball community,
Falcons fans are a funny bunch, myself included, because while there are always optimists, most have been beaten down by a collection of low points that they may never recover from until the team finally hoists a Lombardi Trophy.

But if rust was a potential concern coming into the game, Harris put that to
For the most part, it’s a great day to be an Atlanta sports fan. The Falcons finally swung a trade for an impact pass rusher, acquiring Matthew Judon from the Patriots for a third-round pick. On the Braves side of things, the club welcomes Michael Harris II back into the starting lineup tonight for the
It took much longer than people might have expected, but the Falcons finally swung something big just a few weeks before the season to address an area of the team that has been plaguing them for more than a decade, acquiring Matthew Judon from the Patriots for a third-round pick.
