The Falcons have a lengthy injury report today, and there were two big returnees to practice. Rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels participated fully after leaving Sunday's game on the cart, and cornerback A.J. Terrell is back after being on IR.
Full report: atlfal.co.nz/4Bivjfh
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. joked of having Andy Dalton in the quarterback room, "We swapped out a redhead for a redhead."

Kendal Daniels will practice today. Kevin Stefanski said he is doing well in his recovery. He is not in concussion protocol.
ICYMI: Falcons CB A.J. Terrell will return to practice today after missing the last four games on IR.
This will open up his 21-day window to return from injured reserve.

The Falcons have their third division game on tap in Week 8, so now is as good a time as any to do a little advanced scouting on how the NFC South fared this past weekend and the trends that are emerging. bit.ly/3W06d4H
Rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels, who has been a standout player for the defense in his first year, was carted off the field during the third quarter of yesterday's game.
Kevin Stefanski provided an update today, and the initial tests were positive. atlfal.co.nz/4yzbAFM
When asked if CB A.J. Terrell's practice window to return from IR would open this week, Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski said "it's trending that way" but added he wants to get through the next couple of days first.
Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski says it's "all positive news on Kendal Daniels."
He's back in the building today and the team feels "really good about where he is." No update on his game status at this time.
The Atlanta Falcons are making a change to their quarterback room. Atlanta has released Cooper Rush and, as was previously reported, signed veteran Andy Dalton. atlfal.co.nz/3VWdXom

"The message all week was: Start fast, start fast, start fast," Falcons DE Cam Thomas told me after the game. "We just didn't do that."
A slow start on Sunday allowed the Bears a cushion the Falcons couldn't erase in the fourth quarter.

While we were wrapping up with Bijan Robinson in the locker room after the game, rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels came in with a couple of trainers. He was walking on his own, which is obviously a good sign after the scary scene today.
Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski says "You turn the ball over three times against a good team, it's going to be hard to win."
Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski says he's disappointed with how they started; "The Bears beat us, but we also beat us."
Says they wanted to start fast and could not. Says that's on the coaching staff to look at how to put the players in a better position to start faster in games.
The Atlanta Falcons put together a rally in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough to overcome the 31-7 lead the Bears built during the first three.
Falcons dropped this one 31-23. Here's the full game breakdown. bit.ly/4zFGEVd
This is the second time the Falcons have had multiple successful two-point conversions in the same game. The other time they did so was on September 23, 2018 vs. New Orleans.
