For those who remember the Friday Night Lights events that the Falcons used to hold, they were fun but incredibly difficult to get to and insanely crowded once you got there. Those have been eliminated in favor of having a practice held at Mercedes Benz stadium, with this being the second consecutive year. Tickets for the event were only $5 and all proceeds (over $200k) went to Veterans Empowerment Foundation.
As for the event, here are some of the updates and takeaways from the event
Injuries
- James Carpenter ended up leaving practice early after what was apparently a hip flexor injury.
