Martrez Milner will miss the Falcons pre season opener on Saturday at Jacksonville with an ankle injury. Apparently this has the Falcons concerned as he is their only pass catching tight end. There's a joke there somewhere...
On a brighter note, Tony Taylor will get the start at middle linebacker against the Jaguars. I don't know if he'll hold off Curtis Lofton or for how long, but it sounds like Tony should get a lot more playing time on defense than he did last year.
Finally, the Falcons QB rotation has not yet been determined for the game. I assume they are going to want to get a good look at Matt Ryan. My guess is Redman starts but doesn't play much. Next in is Ryan, and he gets more snaps than anyone. What will be interesting is if they give Shockley or Harrington more playing time. If it's Shockley, and he plays well, that's a huge step toward earning the number 3 spot over Harrington.
