1. Today's plan. The Falcons will hold a closed to the media walk-through and do a mini-tour of Mercedes-Benz Stadium today. The team will post some shots and we'll share those. "We've discussed where we go to park," Quinn said. "Where do we go….we are just really excited to see our fans."
2. Freeman update. Falcons running back Devonta Freeman, who is in the NFL's concussion protocol, likely won't play in the final two exhibition games, coach Dan Quinn said Thursday. Quinn hope he gets cleared for the practice soon and will start pointing toward the regular season opener against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 10.
