The Falcons have just one more day to sit around before training camp starts on Thursday, and with LB Lofa Tatupu’s season-ending injury, one can expect all eyes on the linebacking corps.
Here’s the report on Tatupu, who’ll miss the season with a torn pectoral muscle.
Along with Tatupu's absence, LB Curtis Lofton is also gone -- he left Atlanta for the Saints through free agency. That puts the pressure on second-year LB Akeem Dent, ESPN’s Pat Yasinskas writes.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Orlando Ledbetter takes a look at whether TE Tony Gonzalez can maintain his elite level of play.
Yasinkas also expects Jacquizz Rodgers to see plenty of time on the field.
Stephen Nicholas and Lamar Holmes are cleared for camp, reports Jay Adams of Falcons.com.
