Press conference takeaways: How Arthur Smith handled the Falcons’ bye week

The Falcons didn’t take the field in Week 6 due to their bye, but they were back at it on Monday with a bonus practice to kick off their preparation for the Miami Dolphins.

One primary benefit that comes with a week off is health, and the Falcons seem to be trending in the right direction on that front. Calvin Ridley was back at practice after missing Atlanta’s 27-20 win against the Jets due to a personal matter, and both Russell Gage and Marlon Davidson got work in during Monday’s practice session after missing time with injuries.
