Falcons cut CB Kevin King, place three players on Non-Football Injury list

Falcons cut CB Kevin King, place three players on Non-Football Injury list

It’s a surprising move after the first day of camp.

The Atlanta Falcons have one day of training camp in the books, but the roster moves are already rolling in. After placing Troy Andersen on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list earlier today, they’ve announced they’re cutting one player and placing three more on the Non-Football Injury list.

The cut is a surprising one. Per Falcons beat reporter Terrin Waack, they’re cutting Kevin King, the veteran cornerback who returned from years lost to injury and COVID and turned in a quality campaign as a reserve and special teamer. Waack...

Falcons training camp 2025: Day 1 recap and practice notes

The Falcons first training camp practice brought us many insights into the team’s status heading into the 2025 season. Read on for notes from our live coverage on Thursday.

It’s life’s consistencies which sometimes bring us the most comfort. Two major consistencies which we experience in late July collide, coming together in the form of the Georgia heat and Atlanta Falcons Training Camp, both of which descended upon Flowery Branch like the expected guests they are.

Raheem Morris kicked things off with his pre camp press conference, announcing a major injury update (we’ll get to that) and talking about how...

3 Falcons storylines on offense to pay attention to during 2025 training camp

3 Falcons storylines on offense to pay attention to during 2025 training camp

What will a Michael Penix offense look like, and is the depth behind Ryan Neuzil set to be scary?

The Atlanta Falcons offense is once again the engine that will power this team’s playoff aspirations; they can’t afford to stall out the way they did in 2024. Training camp is here, and the offense has multiple storylines worth paying attention to throughout the process.

Here are three I will be keeping tabs on, and they’re ones you should watch closely, too.

Can Zac Robinson take the next step?

The man known as ZRob had a solid debut as a...

5 injured Falcons return for the first day of training camp

5 injured Falcons return for the first day of training camp

The returns of Kyle Pitts, Kaleb McGary, and Bralen Trice, among others, are welcome for a team set to count on all three players.

While the Atlanta Falcons look to be a stronger team than they were in 2024, they can ill afford significant injuries that challenge their depth, especially this early in the year. That’s why all eyes were going to be on players dealing with injuries earlier in the offseason program, including starters like Kyle Pitts and Kaleb McGary.

While we just got the news that Troy Andersen hit the PUP list, there’s good news to balance that...

Troy Andersen lands on Physically Unable to Perform list to start training camp

Troy Andersen lands on Physically Unable to Perform list to start training camp

The athletic linebacker continues to deal with injuries, which have unfortunately derailed a promising career.

The Atlanta Falcons signed Divine Deablo to a deal that certainly implied he would get a real shot to start, which raised a few eyebrows given the presence of Troy Andersen. The Falcons both clearly liked Deablo and had concerns that the oft-injured Andersen would be able to take on and remain healthy for a starting role, and unfortunately those concerns are rooted in reality.

On Thursday, Raheem Morris said in his first press conference of training camp that the team would be placing Andersen...

3 Falcons storylines on defense to pay attention to during 2025 training camp

All three levels of the defense will be worth a close watch this summer, for reasons that range from encouraging to worrisome.

Atlanta Falcons training camp is right around the corner, and the team has multiple storylines worth paying attention to throughout the process.

Here are three I will be keeping tabs on, and they’re ones you should watch closely, too.

Linebacker room: misfit toys or versatile assets?

Falcons training camp roundtable: Defensive questions for a team seeking offensive evolution

Falcons training camp roundtable: Defensive questions for a team seeking offensive evolution

Training camp has arrived in Atlanta, as the pressure begins to intensify, with a revamped defense seeking difference makers and a solidified offense aiming to be more prolific.

For the third consecutive season, the Atlanta Falcons enter training camp with high expectations. The journey toward the playoffs continues following two disappointing seasons where the opportunity was there for the taking. Unlike the previous two years, there is more stability with an offense returning all starters except at center. It also helps when the coaching staff remains firmly intact on the offensive side of the ball.

The total opposite has taken...

8 Falcons camp battles worth watching this summer

From safety to kicker, the consequential combat for positional perches.

The Atlanta Falcons kick off training camp Thursday, with players arriving Wednesday. This is a time of anticipation for fans who have been waiting nearly eight months to see any sort of real NFL action again, and an opportunity for many a would-be Falcon, would-be star, and maybe especially would-be practice squad player to prove themselves.

This Falcons team is settled in many key spots—every offensive starter, your top two cornerbacks, all-world starting safety, the invaluable *punter—*but much is up for grabs on defense and even on special teams. Here’s...
