Preseason struggles have increased as teams prioritize player evaluations over winning. The Atlanta Falcons aim to achieve health, assess position battles, and consider roster tweaks in their first preseason game against the Detroit Lions. With many key players sidelined, the focus shifts to avoiding injuries, which previously derailed their season. While evaluating lower roster spots, the Falcons face the likelihood of several players struggling during the game. Overall, preseason is less about meaningful competition and more focused on player readiness and health.
Teams view preseason as a way to give reserves and hopefuls playing time instead of treating it as essential for the league calendar.
Health is the priority for the Falcons, especially after past injuries impacted their season significantly; they will sit most starters to prevent injuries.
The preseason opener against the Lions represents a limited opportunity focused on player health, evaluating position battles, and deciding about roster adjustments.
Five to fifteen players on the Falcons roster are likely to struggle in the first preseason game as they vie for limited spots.
