The Atlanta Falcons today made 22 roster moves to reach the NFL’s mandatory 53-player limit.
The Falcons will use Saturday's preseason game against the Colts to measure improvements from last week's loss at Jacksonville. They'll do so against a proven opponent that has lost just 17 games in the past five regular seasons.
Joey Harrington will start at quarterback for the Falcons when the Indianapolis Colts visit for the second preseason game of 2008. That and more in J. Michael Moore's training camp notebook.
Ben Hartsock may be new to the Falcons organization but he's supporting what has been a thin group of tight ends at Russell Falcons Training Camp. More in J. Michael Moore's camp notebook.
Mike Smith's first game as an NFL head coach will be against his former employer. The Falcons travel to Jacksonville this weekend to face the Jaguars in the 2008 preseason opener.
Sam Baker was the only Falcons draft pick along the offensive line, but some favorable answers on injuries and contributions from free agents new and old could strengthen the group in 2008.
Falcons-Rams game notes and injury updates straight from the Edward Jones Dome press box.
Linebacker Michael Boley, who is in the midst of a career season, and the Falcons defense will look to stop the hard running of Steven Jackson come Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome. That and more in the Wednesday Notebook.
Wide receiver Joe Horn spent several seasons as a New Orleans Saint, but he's happy to be with the Falcons as the teams get set to extend their storied rivalry into another year.
