Takkarist McKinley was coming off an injury this summer, and so when he suffered a shoulder injury in training camp, the Falcons were justifiably cautious about it. They held McKinley out of a series of practices, with the vague hope that he’d be ready to go for the first preseason game.
Sure enough, Takk is back.
Looks like Takk McKinley is ready to Go with no hesitation coming off shoulder injury, according to Dan Quinn post practice

The Falcons are unlikely to let Takk play a full half or anything like that, but he’ll get a series or two with the first team defense to warm up and get ready for the preseason games and actual games ahead.
