As is often the case, Dan Quinn was able to stand in front of reporters and deliver some reassuring words. Today, it was on two fronts: Injuries and play calling.
Let’s start with the former, as it concerns us more than any other.
Injury update
The good news: The Falcons are basically totally healthy, with all but one player expected to suit up for Friday’s game against the Chiefs. The bad news, which isn’t even that bad: Matt Bryant might be the one man who doesn’t suit up.
That’s not terrible news because Bryant is a veteran with no real need for preseason tuneups, and because holding him out if he’s even a little injured is a smart move given that the team has no easy way to replace his golden leg.
