The Atlanta Falcons are getting healthy in the offseason including new quarterback Kirk Cousins who looked sharp at OTAs again.
Given last week off, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris used it as an opportunity to evaluate his first four months at the helm and the progress his team made during the first 10 days of OTAs.
Morris spoke before the session began. Over the next two hours, his team stretched, installed, ran seven-on-sevens and 11-on-11s and finished with special teams drills.Roll Call: Several Players Back from Injuries Terrell, who battled hamstring tightness and was held out for precautionary reasons before the Falcons took their week off, was also back in the fold. The same is true for receiver Rondale Moore, who missed time with the same injury.
At linebacker, Kaden Elliss served as the lone constant, with Nate Landman and Troy Andersen rotating snaps. Fifth-round rookie J.D. Bertrand saw brief action with the starters, as well. At cornerback, Anthony Johnson, who the Falcons signed May 15, has quickly surged to be in the conversation as Atlanta's No. 5 corner behind Terrell, Phillips, Alford and Mike Hughes.Kirk Cousins is loose. He'll yell jokes, with running back Tyler Allgeier describing his new quarterback as having very dry humor, and is highly intentional with how he relays play calls and handles motions, of which there are many in Atlanta's new offense.
