Falcons Exhibition Game Action

The first round of exhibition games (sorry--PRE SEASON) games are in, and some Falcons saw some action.

Due to injuries, PJ Pope in Chicago got 8 of the Bears 16 carries. The running game was anemic, and then some. He gained 18 yards on those carries with a long carry of five yards.

Cole Magner did not play for Atlanta in their first exhibition game. Web reports indicate he was on the sideline in civvies. Robert Redd, however, caught one pass and returned a punt in his long-term effort to hook on in the NFL.

Charles Sharon also did not play for Jacksonville. No known reason why.

The big news, and perhaps the only news from a player likely to make an NFL roster came from Omar. He was 5-7 for 61 yards and the only Steelers TD in the game. There were reports out of Pittsburgh that he was struggling in camp and could lose the #3 spot, but hopefully this has solidified his position.

Scott Mruczkowski appeared for the Chargers, but no stats for lineman are available. He spent last year active on the SD roster. Apparently, he had a holding penalty.

Shaun Suisham kicked a FG for Dallas, and seemed to be shopping to be a KO specialist.

Khary Campbell made a tackle for the Redskins.
