1. Practice. Falcons coach Dan Quinn will meet with the media before practice at 1:30 p.m. The team is set to practice at 2:20 p.m.

2. Depth chart. Ben Garland remains listed with the first-team at right guard in the official depth chart released by the Falcons on Monday.

3. Stadium walk-through. The Falcons are set to visit their new home on Friday.
