No immediate fallout after Hall outburst
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There was no apparent fallout from cornerback DeAngelo Hall’s comments about the coaching staff and front office Thursday, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t or won’t be any.
Coach Bobby Petrino and no member of the Falcons’ organization spoke to the media Thursday. Hall, who went through practice, was unavailable. Disciplinary action could be forthcoming but then again, it might not.
There is concern in the building about the mood of players, which, as I alluded to Wednesday, could be helped by more open lines of communication. Though players don’t need to know anything about the decisions being made by the coaching staff or front office, some acknowledgement of the team’s blueprint moving forward could help bridge a widening gap.
On the injury front, OT Todd Weiner continues to step us his rehabilitation but there is no work yet on if he’ll be ready to play Nov. 4 vs. San Francisco. Backup fullback and special teams captain Corey McIntyre returned to practice this week after sitting out Sunday’s loss at New Orleans with a hamstring injury.
There was no update on quarterback Byron Leftwich’s right ankle surgery.
