FLOWERY BRANCH – Falcons coach Dan Quinn cautioned the fan-base about tackle Jake Long and his readiness to contribute to the team.
With the release of backup tackle Tyler Polumbus to make room for tight end Mickey Shuler, Long will compete with Bryce Harris for the backup swing tackle spot.
“Regarding Jake Long, he’s getting closer to helping us, and I think the thing we need to remember about Jake Long is that he had a significant knee injury,” Quinn said.
