The Falcons have officially opened for training camp, wrapping up their first day of practice on Wednesday. As the team prepares for the upcoming NFL season, a number of positions are up for grabs.
While many thought this included the quarterback position following the team’s selection of rookie Desmond Ridder in the third round, it sounds like the Falcons are rolling with Mariota as the starting QB to kick off camp.
Atlanta’s quarterbacks coach, Charles London, told The Athletic’s Josh Kendall that while Mariota will start, the team has a plan for Ridder.
