| 8/04/25 | Can Falcons' X-man become defensive X factor? . When the Atlanta Falcons traded up in the third round to select safety Xavier Watts with the No. 96 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, they had good reason to feel confident about the player they'd be getting. "Watts is one of those guys that you've seen him make plays and do things at all three levels, which makes it a cleaner eval as opposed to some guys are box guys and we're sitting there in an interchangeable safety role, but you're really projecting how is he going to be in the post?" Falcons assistant general manager Kyle Smith explained after the draft. "… So, Xavier was a clean eval that way of seeing him do exactly what you envision him doing for us." Watts has begun to earn time with the first-team defense, although he missed the Falcons' sixth open practice on Friday after leaving early the day prior.

| 8/02/25 | Drake London - The Atlanta Falcons' Jekyll and Hyde. Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has quickly become one of the leaders on the team with an infectious personality, tireless work ethic, and obsessive competitiveness.

Despite the brightness, London admits to a darkness, in an anti-hero way, that fuels his game on Sundays. “When I'm on the field, that's like when the competitiveness comes out,” London said.

| 8/01/25 | Why Drake London's Role Is More Crucial Than Ever for Atlanta Falcons. With training camp in full swing, the Atlanta Falcons' wide receiver room is under the spotlight, not just because of the talent at the top, but because of the injuries testing its depth early on. Injuries are an unfortunate part of the deal in the NFL, and wide receiver Darnell Mooney has been no stranger to that agreement as a Falcon. Head coach Raheem Morris was a bit vague on Tuesday about any potential returns for Mooney, but said he could be back in “a few weeks.” The team was in a similar position last summer when Rondale Moore went down with an injury, albeit under different circumstances, and the room will look to replicate that depth this year.

| 7/30/25 | Atlanta Falcons In for Rough Year According to Fox Sports NFL Power Rankings. NFL Reporter Ralph Vacchino released his mid-training camp NFL rankings on Monday, and the Atlanta Falcons are ranked in the bottom half of the league. Atlanta comes in at No. 25 in Vacchino's list; however, they are above two NFC South counterparts: the New Orleans Saints (No. 31) and Carolina Panthers (No. 28). There are two reasons for Atlanta's low ranking: Vacchino is not sold on Michael Penix Jr, and he thinks Atlanta added nothing on the offensive side of the ball to help the second-year quarterback.

Floyd, who will turn 33 years old the day after he starts his 10th NFL season in September, has been the model of consistency throughout his career. Just last season with the San Francisco 49ers, he was able to continue his run of productive football.

| 7/29/25 | Falcons Make Pair of Roster Moves. The Atlanta Falcons announced on Tuesday via press release that they have removed cornerback Cobee Bryant and defensive lineman LaCale London from the non-football injury/illness (NFI) list.

As a result of this designation, he has yet to see any action during training camp. Meanwhile, London spent the 2024 season on the Falcons' practice squad after joining the team in 2023.
