The 7 most important questions for the Falcons heading into training camp

Flowery Branch, Ga.—The Falcons’ offseason ends with a six-week break before training camp opens July 29. A new regime led by Matt Ryan, Kevin Stefanski, and Ian Cunningham expresses cautious optimism, though questions remain. Penix Jr. has not been cleared for 11-on-11 work, delaying a fair QB evaluation.

OTAs and minicamp showed Penix’s progress but he struggled with accuracy, notably a 3-for-8 red-zone drill with two drops and missed verticals. Stefanski said competition won’t hinge on June decisions. Tagovailoa’s presence adds a competitive dynamic, and Pearce Jr. faces uncertainty for 2026 after a February arrest on three Florida felony charges related to an incident with Rickea Jackson.
