Falcons safety Erik Harris out for practice
Falcons free safety Erik Harris, who has not played in the exhibition season, was not at practice with an undisclosed injury on Monday.
“We are just being cautious with Erik,” Falcons coach Arthur Smith said. “Don’t expect it to be long-term at all.”
Second-year safety Jaylinn Hawkins replaced Harris at free safety with the first-team defense. Hawkins has had a strong training camp and had a sack against the Titans on Aug. 13.
