5 things to know about the Falcons on Tuesday

Here are five things to know about the Falcons on Tuesday:

1. Practice time. The Falcons return to practice after a mandatory NFLPA day off. The practice is open to the public at 9: 30 a.m. The gates open at 8:30 a.m.

2. Prime time. The Falcons have a new "Prime Time" in wide receiver Julio Jones. He's part of NBC's Sunday Night Football opening.

3. CTE concerns: Falcons coach Dan Quinn addressed concerns about CTE and concussions with the team.

4. Updated depth chart. Here's a look at the updated depth chart after four days of practice.

5. Warriors an inspiration. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan believes the Falcons can look to the Golden State Warriors for inspiration. They were defeated by the Cleveland Cavaliers after holding a 3-1 lead for the NBA title in 2016. But the Falcons haven't signed Kevin Durant. Maybe Takkarist McKinley is the Falcons' Kevin Durant
