- LOOK: Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. launches deep ball to Drake London
The Atlanta Falcons have officially kicked off their second week of training camp, holding their first fully padded practice on Tuesday morning. This comes following Sunday's chippy practice in which multiple fights broke out. Head coach Raheem Morris said he liked the team's intensity but didn't want to waste more time fighting.
"Really good physicality, but you'd like to avoid the little bit of skirmish that happened because you don't want to waste time," explained Morris . "The time is precious for these guys. It made us cancel our developmental period and those are things that, as a coach, that just drives you nuts."
