News » Takkarist McKinley will practice today

Devonta Freeman and Authentic Alex Mack Jersey Derrick Shelby improving The Atlanta Falcons struggled defensively during the overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints, thanks in part to countless injuries to starting defenders. The biggest missing player from Sunday’s game was Takkarist McKinley. He had two sacks in only two games so far this season, and the defensive line was lifeless without him.The good news is it appears McKinley is back, per head coach Dan Quinn.Atlanta needs McKinley back http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/matt-bryant-jersey , and they need him back ASAP. The fact that he’s participating in the first practice of the week is a huge plus. Short of any setbacks, it seems exceedingly likely that he plays on Sunday. As far as Devonta Freeman and Derrick Shelby, Quinn has been unusually optimistic and vague regarding injuries. I’d like to say they have an outside shot at playing, but it’s possible that next week is more likely.Either way Womens Logan Paulsen Jersey , at least the Falcons are finally getting players back and not losing them to injured reserve for once.Julio Jones historically eats the Eagles’ lunch As the Falcons get ready to tussle with the Eagles to get the season started, a bit of opportune statistics have floated on down the river about one Julio Jones. It appears as if Julio has blasted Philly’s secondary more than once. That’s an alarming statistic if you’re an Eagles fan and the Jet is flying into Philadelphia International Airport, and an encouraging one if you’re worried about how Atlanta will fare against this Philly defense. Jones didn’t get any run in the preseason and will be taking his first snaps for 2018 since that ill-fated playoff drive that ended with him slipping on a fade route on fourth down. No doubt Jones will want to come out swinging against a team he made a rare mistake against, and after an offseason where a simple raise request and holdout created a lot of controversy in Flowery Branch and around the fan base. Simply put Womens Terrell McClain Jersey , Jones might want to put on a show tonight to silence the critics. If history holds,the league’s scheduled a perfect opponent for a big Jet show. We’ll see how Julio performs Thursday night as the season gets underway at Philly, and if Jones can hit five-consecutive 100+ games in the streak against the team that bounced Atlanta in the winter’s playoffs.
