Overview

• Sunday’s practice saw multiple scuffles with rookie edge rusher James Pearce Jr. clashing against Matthew Bergeron and Kaleb McGary during live drills.
• Head coach Raheem Morris’s earlier no-fight directive has so far resulted in no disciplinary actions following the incidents.
• Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich described the on-field confrontations as excessive and is now emphasizing drills on channeling aggression within team protocols.
• Veterans Leonard Floyd and Ray-Ray McCloud reinforced self-control guidelines by intervening in scrums and coaching younger players on maintaining discipline.
• The Falcons remain focused on sharpening their competitive edge and enforcing a disciplined, high-intensity style of play ahead of the season opener.
