The Falcons haven’t had a lot of great injury-and-COVID-related news of late, so I’m happy to be able to share a rare bit of it.
The Falcons not only will have Julio Jones back and ready to go again, but they’ll also get top pass rusher Takk McKinley back. Takk has been easily the team’s most fearsome-seeming defensive end when he’s been on the field, but unfortunately he hasn’t been healthy all that often in 2020. If he’s able to play his usual full complement of snaps, the defense should benefit quite a bit.
