Atlanta Falcons Training Camp Highlights Injuries and Quarterback Uncertainty

The Atlanta Falcons began their 2026 training camp in Flowery Branch, Georgia, with a roster plagued by injuries. Starting quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. remain sidelined, prompting the team to sign veteran backup Cooper Rush and fuel speculation that former quarterback Baker Mayfield could be a future target.

Star skill players such as running back Bijan Robinson, wide receiver Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts were on the field, while Robinson missed the first session due to a contract dispute. The Falcons also dealt with a right‑tackle crisis, signing Jawaan Taylor and Wanya Morris after the retirements of Kaleb McGary and the season‑ending injury to Storm Norton. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich returned to the sidelines after a personal bereavement, providing a morale boost for the squad.
