Kyle Smith says Falcons TE Kyle Pitts' approach this offseason "has been amazing."
Falcons assistant GM Kyle Smith says the plan was always to sign DJ Chark at WR prior to Darnell Mooney leaving the first practice with a shoulder injury.
Falcons have made the signing of DJ Chark official. Adds some serious speed to this offense. atlfal.co.nz/4l0KbWp
Darnell Mooney has a shoulder injury and will miss "a few weeks," the team announced Friday night. Follows reports of signing WR DJ Chark to a one-year deal. More from @TerrinWaack ⤵️ atlfal.co.nz/4o5nuD6
There has been no update on Darnell Mooney, who left yesterday's practice early after a hard landing. The next open practice is tomorrow, and it may provide further clarification. Regardless, Chark adds more speed to this offense. I think that's' a great call.
REPORT: The Falcons signed wide receiver DJ Chark, according to @RapSheet & @MikeGarafolo. Chark, a 2nd-round pick who clocked a 4.34-second 40-yard dash at the 2018 combine, has played for 4 different teams since getting drafted by the Jaguars. 🔗 MORE: atlfal.co.nz/4l0KbWp

The Falcons returned to the field yesterday, which means @tori_mcelhaney, @TerrinWaack and I returned to the podcast studio to share all we learned from the first day of camp. Plus, the 6 things we NEED to see from the team! 🎧atlfal.co.nz/4kUkkiI 📺youtu.be/WzMjZCPOOfE
Bijan Robinson has officially debuted on the NFL Top 100. Is he going to be higher on the list next year? What do y'all think? atlfal.co.nz/4f7PIZJ
"I've seen him battle through adversity, and I've seen him fight back, and I've seen him find a way to make it work." Raheem Morris is confident Younghoe Koo can regain his old form, and the veteran kicker is ready to prove it. atlfal.co.nz/3GJpU9Q
Surprised by the Kevin King release, because he's a player I had circled as a candidate for bigger things in 2025.
Transaction: The Falcons released defensive back Kevin King and placed three players on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list. 🔗 MORE: atlfal.co.nz/40CXWmJ
I'm never going to say no to one of those trip set corner routes from No. 8
First words out of Michael Penix Jr.’s mouth after practice: “We got KP the ball today. Gonna be a lot of that.”
Arnold Ebiketie looks good out there today. A few early wins in the team period.
The Falcons have placed Troy Andersen on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Furthers the importance of Divine Deablo's presence on this defense. atlfal.co.nz/44KnOQ7
When asked about the camp battle at kicker, Raheem Morris reiterated his belief in veteran Younghoe Koo: "I've got so much confidence in Younghoe"
Raheem Morris says that around block 3 of camp you'll begin to see some role clarity forming and it will continue from there. Nothing new about that, but the pads coming on are important for a reason.
When asked about Michael Penix being a lefty and how that impacts the O-line, Raheem Morris said: "I don't know if it's as blind as it used to be." Shotgun and pistol snaps impact that. Adds that he has "all of the confidence" in Kaleb McGary to hold up on the right side.
