During the 2026 NFL training camp, Atlanta Falcons rookies showed significant progress. Wide receiver Zachariah Branch noted that his collegiate experience helped his transition, while rookie linebackers Kendal Daniels and Harold Perkins Jr. began practicing with the first-team defense, performing ahead of expectations.

As the preseason approached, the team continued roster refinements. The Falcons signed offensive lineman Josh Thompson to the practice squad and hosted defensive end Khalid Kareem for a workout. While analysts noted the offensive potential of players like Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts, questions persisted regarding the team’s quarterback situation.
