Edge rusher Bralen Trice was among the players who did not get the chance to take the field with the Falcons in the team's preseason opener against the Detroit Lions , but it doesn't mean the outlook is pessimistic.
In fact, Trice himself seems rather optimistic about his 2025 season outlook.

"Nothing negative. Just taking care of my knee, making sure I get through the preseason," edge rusher Bralen Trice said, per the team's Terrin Waack. Trice, who was unable to take the field for the entirety of his rookie season due to a preseason ACL injury, says his knee actually "feels great" at this point.
With this, it is expected we will get get a chance to see what Trice is truly made of as a player sooner rather than later. The 6-foot-4, 274-pounder who was originally selected by the team in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft, earned high accolades at Washington, named the team's MVP in 2022 and 2023.
The best season of his career came in 2023 when he set a single-season career-high with 49 tackles (30 solo), tallying seven sacks, two passes defended, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 15 starts. On the entirety of his college career, the former Husky left the university with 101 combined tackles (63 solo), 29 tackles for loss, 18 sacks, two passes defended, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.
As things continue to trend in the right direction, it will be interesting to see how Trice looks in the second game olf the preseason as the Falcons take on the Tennessee Titans . Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET in Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Friday.
