Atlanta Falcons to report to training camp and resume practices this week

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Summer is coming to an end for college students across the United States, but it’s just starting up again for the Atlanta Falcons as training camp begins this week.

Atlanta players and coaches will report to Flowery Branch on Wednesday morning to officially begin preparations for the 2024 season. The team’s first official practice will be held on Thursday, but due to ongoing renovations at IBM Performance Field, fans will not be allowed to watch.

Atlanta does have two off-site workouts open to fans, one on July 27 at Seckinger High School in Buford, Georgia, and the other on August 2 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Tickets, which cost $5, are available for purchase HERE.

The Falcons last took the field on June 11 for mandatory minicamp, which capped nearly two months of workouts for veterans and a month for rookies.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said during minicamp that the six-week gap was a good time to get away and be with family, but players and coaches are eventually starting to get the itch to return — and with expectations as high internally as they are for Atlanta, that itch has almost certainly come back in a double-take.

“When you come back, you’re just renewed and invigorated, and it’s time for us to win a championship,” Morris said.

The Falcons’ hunt for their first Super Bowl in franchise history and first playoff berth since the 2017 season begins Wednesday when they arrive in Flowery Branch.
