You know it when you see it. Oftentimes, an NFL veteran can know right away if a rookie can play or not in this league. A high draft pick's talent may be obviou

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris provided an update on tight end Kyle Pitts. The fifth-year tight end won't practice at OTAs due to an undisclosed injury. Quarterback Kirk Cousins was among a handful of players missing from the practice field as well.

From a fight to depth chart notes and a few key absences, here's what to know from the Atlanta Falcons' OTA practice Monday.

With OTAs underway for the Atlanta Falcons, quarterback Michael Penix has been igniting buzz around the organization and in what lies ahead.

New Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters Thursday that star pass rusher Micah Parsons hasn't been at OTAs this week. Parsons is trying to negotiate a new contract with the team, though he did show up to voluntary workouts in April.

The Falcons are entering 2025 with a better defensive, and one rookie is standing out more than the rest during OTAs.

This picture, of Falcons legendary quarterback Michael Vick and current second-year QB Michael Penix Jr., is a great example. Vick made the awesome decision to stop by Falcons OTAs this week, a great chance for one left-handed quarterback to mentor another.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts' injury is a sprained foot, which is keeping him out of OTA practices, per reports.

Bertrand closed his rookie season on the sidelines with an eye injury, though the issue is now behind him. He could be in line for a key reserve role in the middle of Atlanta's defense while also serving on special teams in 2025.
