We made it through five days of Atlanta Falcons training camp without a serious, season-ending injury. Wide receiver Bryan Edwards got a little roughed up with a shoulder injury, but missed just one day of practice before returning in a non-contact jersey. That streak unfortunately ended on Day 6, as coach Arthur Smith announced that veteran defensive tackle Vincent Taylor ruptured his Achilles.
#Falcons DT Vincent Taylor ruptured his Achilles, per Arthur Smith. Absolutely brutal for the veteran coming off a season-ending injury in 2021.

Taylor, 28, signed with Atlanta shortly before the 2022 NFL Draft to provide some juice to an interior pass rush that sorely lacked it in 2021.
