Today's Falcons practice was a quick one, which wrapped up after just about 40 minutes on the field. Players were in shorts and hats again -- no pads or helmets -- and there was an emphasis on red zone work. Dan Quinn said after practice that this is what a typical Friday practice will be like for the Falcons this season.
RaShede Hageman, Desmond Trufant, William Moore, Peter Konz and Antone Smith did not participate in practice. Quinn confirmed that Hageman, Moore and Konz are out for Friday's game, but it's also safe to assume that Trufant and Smith will be sidelined.
