Falcons guard Jamon Brown loosens up for the second practice at training camp Tuesday, July 23, 2019, in Flowery Branch.

Falcons offensive guard Jamon Brown, who missed past four practices because of an illness that was not related to COVID-19, returned to practice Tuesday and suffered an injury.

Before Wednesday’s practice, Dan Quinn announced that Brown was in the NFL’s concussion-protocol program.

Brown is one of four offensive guards in contention to start at left guard this coming season for the Falcons. Although Brown began the 2019 season as a healthy scratch in the season opener against the Vikings, he stepped into a starting role after right guard Chris Lindstrom suffered a broken toe. Brown started nine of the 10 games he appeared in last season.

Brown, however, did not appear in any of the final four games of the season.
