Falcons

Per Josh Kendall of The Athletic, Falcons QB Kirk Cousins was in the front row of the team meeting on Tuesday.
Atlanta HC Raheem Morris on Cousins: “He wasn’t someone I have seen every day, but I got a chance to say, ‘What’s up man?’”
He added that the only absence from minicamp was DL Morgan Fox and it was excused for a personal reason.
According to Tori McElhaney, Falcons RT Kaleb McGary is dealing with an undisclosed injury, which is why he has been absent from voluntary workouts. Morris said they are being cautious with both McGary and TE Kyle Pitts.
Morris has no worries that Cousins’ presence could disturb the dynamic with QB Michael Penix Jr.: “Kirk is not in the business of disrupting Michael Penix.” (McElhaney)
Cousins spoke on Penix: “Michael (Penix) is going to do great … I’m here to support him as he needs it.” (Will McFadden)
He gave a lengthy response when asked what his best case scenario was: “Right now it’s being in the situation I am in and being the best I can. And hopefully in February, we — as an organization — are holding up the Lombardi Trophy. And how we do that is more important as a team that we do that, some way, some how. That’s where the focus has to be: That we as an organization win a championship and each one of us individually has to do our part in that to get there.” (McElhaney)
