FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga -- The Atlanta Falcons will hold their third training camp practice Sunday morning at their home facility. Practice is open to the public.
This is what Falcons coach Dan Quinn had to say following Day 2 of practice: ``I think it’s great to have some of the guys who have been injured, not necessarily a surprise, but it’s so nice to see Jake Matthews, Joe Hawley, Peter Konz, and Brooks Reed and some of the guys that just missed such a big portion of our OTAs. To have some of those guys back and playing, I knew how good some of them were from watching them on tape, but I didn’t get a chance to be out on the field with them. I think the biggest surprise is not necessarily a surprise, but to have some of injured players back into the fold.”
Here is the Falcons' schedule for Sunday:
10 a.m.-12 p.m. ET -- Practice
