FLOWERY BRANCH — Falcons wide receiver Jared Bernhardt, who is from Longwood, Fla,, in the central part of the state, checked on his mother for news of Hurricane Ian.

“She’s good,” Bernhardt said. “I have to give her a call. It’s the middle (of Florida). She shouldn’t get the full brunt of it. But I think it’s supposed to go through that area. Hopefully, for everyone’s sake in Florida, I hope everyone stays safe and healthy, for sure.”
