Two of the Falcons prized draft picks, defensive end/linebacker Vic Beasely and wide receiver Justin Hardy, and veteran right guard Asamoah, returned to practice on Friday after a bout with a stomach virus.

They were all dressed and participated in the Friday Night Lights practice at Buford High.

Also, running backs Tevin Coleman (hamstring sprain) and Devonta Freeman (hamstrong), linebacker Brooks Reed (hip/groin) and linebacker Cliff Matthews (left ankle) did not practice.

Recently signed players defensive tackle Derrick Hopkins (91), running back Michael Ford (38) and tight end DJ Tialavea (86) were assigned jersey numbers and participated in their first practices.
