Key Points:
- The Falcons' training camp practice at Lanier High School was cut short due to lightning after about an hour, disappointing a capacity crowd eager to see tackling and 11-on-11 action.
- Safety Jessie Bates III missed his fourth straight practice due to a back injury, while defensive lineman Zach Harrison returned; right tackles Jawaan Taylor and Wanya Morris remained out.
- QB Tua Tagovailoa showed strong form, completing multiple passes including two red zone touchdowns to WRs Jahan Dotson and Drake London, and connecting on a deep 35-yard throw to WR Olamide Zaccheaus.
- RB Bijan Robinson impressed with a 55-yard touchdown run and displayed his agility as a key offensive threat despite an early fumble during 11-on-11 drills.
- Defensive standouts included DT Brandon Dorlus and DT Maason Smith, who each recorded sacks on Tagovailoa, and EDGE James Pearce Jr., who dominated in one-on-one pass-rush drills against offensive linemen.
