FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Two of the Atlanta Falcons' draft picks who have been either limited or absent in training camp last week both returned to the field Monday.
Safety Xavier Watts and edge rusher Jalon Walker were present for the seventh open practice. Watts has been limited for what Falcons head coach Raheem Morris called "preventive maintenance," while Walker was absent a few times with a “minor” hamstring injury .
"We'll kind of ease them back in," Morris said. "Probably the next day, after that, we'll kind of pull them back a little bit to unleash him a little bit toward that high practice to get them ready for the off day and to get into our preseason game stuff. We'll get those guys ready to go."
