FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Summer is winding down for students across the United States, but it's just picking up for the Atlanta Falcons, as training camp begins this week.

The Falcons last took the field June 11 for mandatory minicamp, which capped nearly two months of practices for veterans and one month for rookies.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said during minicamp the six-week gap is a good time to get away and be with family, but players and coaches eventually start itching to get back - and with expectations as high internally as they are for Atlanta, the itch almost certainly came back twofold.

"When you come back, you’re just renewed and you’re reenergized, and it’s time for us to go win a championship," Morris said.

The Falcons' hunt for their first Super Bowl in franchise history and first playoff berth since the 2017 season begins Wednesday with their arrival to Flowery Branch.
