Atlanta held its final practice of training camp on Monday, but there is still plenty of work to be done before the Falcons' regular-season opener against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 10. After the conclusion of camp, coach Dan Quinn said his team will continue to focus on internal evaluations and improvement.
The Falcons are seeking their first win of the preseason after losing to the Dolphins 20-23 in their opening exhibition game on the road. A fast start from the first-team offense, capped by a 15-yard touchdown catch by running back , and a pair of turnovers on defense were some of the bright spots for Atlanta against Miami.
