Falcons training camp 2020 preview: Getting ready for camp in the age of COVID-19

Training camp officially opens tomorrow, The Falcons are sitting on a ton of decisions, including how to get their rosters down to 80 men, and from there how to cut at least nine players, given that roster sizes expanded to 55 and practice squads have been expanded to 16 players. It’s a thoroughly weird year and the team is going to be admirably winging it over the next month-plus, so we’ll be patient and hope the Falcons come away with a strong team and everyone stays healthy.

Health is the big concern this year, even more so than usual, because a positive COVID-19 test not only could spread to the larger team, but it could also impact guys who are on the cusp of making the roster.
