After not hosting any fans during the 2020 exhibition season because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Falcons will hold an open practice Aug. 7, a Saturday, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The time will be announced later with tickets to cost $5. Proceeds will go to Emory Healthcare.

Because of current NFL protocols around COVID-19, there will not be opportunities for player autographs.

The team is set to report to Flowery Branch on July 22. The rest of the Falcons training-camp schedule will be announced at a later date, including open practices in Flowery Branch.
