Training camp is winding down for the Atlanta Falcons but not without one final scrimmage at Wednesday’s open practice. The team must cut down its roster to 53 players by the NFL’s August 27 deadline. As we examined on Monday, several players are roster locks but a handful of spots are still up for grabs.
Two players who don’t have to worry about making the team are wide receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Kyle Pitts. At Wednesday’s practice, Mooney and Pitts continued to make plays as they have throughout training camp. Watch as Mooney high-points the football to bring in the catch over Falcons cornerback Clark Phillips III below:
