The Eagles won’t be at full strength tonight as they take on the Falcons. Star wide receiver A.J. Brown has already been ruled out, but Atlanta will also be missing a key contributor. Middle linebacker Nate Landman is out, and ahead of the game, the Falcons decided to place him on the IR, along with
Following an August 8th start against the Brewers, it was fair to assume the Charlie Morton of old was officially a thing of the past. He surrendered eight earned runs over just 2.2 innings, ballooning his ERA to 4.47. His stuff was no longer looking as sharp, and he had quickly been relegated to the
If the first two weeks of the NFL campaign have shown us anything, it’s how ever-changing the league is. Coming into the season, everyone was picking the Falcons to win the division. They were the ones that made all the flashy moves, while the Saints and Buccaneers did little to improve their roster. Everyone predicted
The Atlanta Braves nearly capped off a perfect weekend last night with three wins against the Dodgers. Charlie Morton, who continues to prove he’s not quite ready to retire yet, was fantastic again, going six innings and allowing just one run. He would leave the game with a 2-1 lead, but the Dodgers would tie
Anytime a coach goes up against his former team, it’s always an intriguing matchup because of the familiarity between the two sides.

The Falcons won the offseason on paper, upgrading at the most important position in all of sports and bringing in two All-Pro defensive players along with several other moves to improve the roster. It had fans anxiously awaiting for the start of the season, and in one swift week, all of that momentum has been
The Falcons didn’t have a ton of positives to take from their Week 1 performance against the Steelers, but the defense did its job for the most part, particularly Atlanta’s trio of linebackers. Troy Andersen really impressed after missing most of last season with various injuries, and Kaden Elliss continues to be one of the
Reynaldo Lopez exited last night’s game against the Nationals with shoulder discomfort ahead of the second inning. After undergoing an MRI, the Braves opted to place him on the 15-day IL, effectively ending his season. He could potentially return for one of the club’s final four games or the postseason, but it feels unlikely given
The hits keep on coming for the Braves, and this afternoon’s feels like one they might not overcome. After leaving yesterday’s game before the second inning with shoulder inflammation, Reynaldo Lopez has been placed on the 15-day IL. He could conceivably return during the last series of the season, but this is his second IL
The Braves’ offense has been completely dormant for weeks, but yesterday, they exploded for 12 runs in a route of the Nationals. It was a much-needed win that featured several big nights from some key contributors that they desperately need to get going down the stretch, primarily Michael Harris II, who homered twice. It also
