Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Bowman is recovering well from his Achilles injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Bowman is closer to being at full health after suffering a torn Achilles last November. While the 23-year-old will be available for Atlanta's walkthroughs, he still isn't healthy enough to be a full participant in practice.

Falcons Injury Report
Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Bowman is recovering well from his Achilles injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Bowman is closer to being at full health after suffering a torn Achilles last November. While the 23-year-old will be available for Atlanta's walkthroughs, he still isn't healthy enough to be a full participant in practice.
Penix (knee) will participate in 7-on-7s and individual drills Tuesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. Practices in May are no-contact, and mostly at less than full speed. It's nonetheless a good sign for Penix to be on the field in any fashion less than six months removed from surgery to repair the third ACL tear of his football career. Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski hinted at a return to full-team drills in the not-so-distant future, but that doesn't necessarily mean Penix will be cleared for contact during training camp in late July. Stefanski also mentioned that the team will be "very intentional" about splitting reps between Penix and Tua Tagovailoa, per Tori McElhaney of the team's official site. The Falcons have made it clear they signed Tagovailoa to compete for the starting job, even if Penix clears all medical hurdles long before Week 1.
The Falcons shared a video Tuesday showing Penix (knee - ACL) throwing to Drake London during spring offseason workouts, Marc Raimondi of ESPN reports. Penix is six months into his recovery from a partially torn left ACL suffered in mid-November of the 2025 season, his third such injury in the last eight years, so his participation in throwing drills is an encouraging sign. Atlanta has confirmed that the third-year QB is taking part in Phase 2 of the offseason program, which includes individual and group work but not yet 7-on-7 or 11-on-11 team drills. Beyond continuing his rehab and meeting the expected trajectory of Year 3 development, Penix also faces the challenge of learning new head coach Kevin Stefanski's offense while competing for the starting job with fellow southpaw Tua Tagovailoa, who signed a one-year, $1.3 million deal with Atlanta this offseason. Penix has offered optimism that he will be ready for Week 1, though the Falcons haven't provided an official timetable for his recovery.
The Falcons signed Jones as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports. Jones was scarcely used during his five-year collegiate career with Georgia, most recently turning 13 carries into 15 yards while also reeling in 20 of 25 targets for 195 yards and a touchdown over 13 contests in 2025. The running back will look to impress at Atlanta's rookie minicamp in an attempt to potentially stick around for the 2026 season.
The Falcons signed Velling as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports. Velling wrapped his collegiate career with Michigan State in 2025, reeling in 36 of 45 targets for 359 yards and three touchdowns. The tight end possesses a 6-foot-5, 245-pound frame, and he'll look to compete with Charlie Woerner, Joshua Simon and Brandon Frazier for a reserve role on Atlanta's 53-man roster in 2026.
The Falcons signed Anthony as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports. Anthony caught 31 of 54 targets for 391 yards and a touchdown while also adding 27 yards and two scores on five carries over 12 contests at Wisconsin in 2025. More notably, the wide receiver compiled 446 yards and a touchdown on 16 kickoff returns, and his best path towards making the Falcons' 53-man roster is likely as a special-teams asset.
The Falcons signed Strand as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports. Strand compiled 3,546 passing yards and 42 touchdowns through the air while completing 63 percent of his passes over 11 contests during his senior campaign with Minnesota State-Moorhead before going undrafted in April's draft. The quarterback will look to compete with Trevor Siemian for Atlanta's No. 3 QB role in 2026.
The Falcons signed Hall on Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports. Hall was drafted by the Falcons in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The San Diego State product appeared in 31 games (10 starts) over two years but was cut in training camp in August of 2023. He most recently played with the Cardinals, starting two games in 2025. Hall will add depth to the Falcons' secondary and likely needs to contribute on special teams.
