Right before preseason, we checked in on some roster battles on both sides of the ball, starting with the offense. With a game in the books, it’s good to go back to our assumptions for those last handful of roster spots in Atlanta and see how (or if) they’ve changed after the Falcons played the Dolphins Friday night.
We’re not close to declaring any of these battles settled just yet, but I do think strong cases were made by the likes of Godwin Igwebuike, Xavier Malone, and Ryan Neuzil for roster spots, and the left guard battle may be closer to shaking out simply based on Matt Hennessy’s injury.
