From a fight to depth chart notes and a few key absences, here's what to know from the Atlanta Falcons' OTA practice Monday.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has been the subject of trade rumors over the last week, and it all started with the 24-year-old's surprise absence from the team's last open practice. Head coach Raheem Morris held a press conference ahead of Monday's organized team activities (OTAs).

When it comes to reliability, no one has been more consistent than veteran David Onyemata, a staple on the Falcons' defensive line. "At 32 years old, Onyemata is coming off his seventh season of logging more than 500 defensive snaps,

From 2022-24, Pitts has averaged 43 receptions, 542 yards and three touchdowns per season. Making matters worse, the players selected directly after him have had considerably more success, including wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith, cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Patrick Surtain II and offensive lineman Penei Sewell.

With OTAs underway for the Atlanta Falcons, quarterback Michael Penix has been igniting buzz around the organization and in what lies ahead.

May 27 marked the start of voluntary OTAs for 20 teams across the NFL. Atlanta is without its top passer from last year on day one.

The Atlanta Falcons started organized team activities (OTAs) on Tuesday at IBM Performance Field in Flowery Branch, Ga., but they did so without backup quarterback Kirk Cousins.

The Atlanta Falcons continue to dive into offseason activities as the attention continues to shift towards the young players .

The Atlanta Falcons have two starting-caliber quarterbacks on the roster as the 2025 NFL offseason winds down. Michael Penix Jr. is the starter and Kirk Cousins is expected to serve as the backup QB, assuming he's still on the roster by the time Week 1 rolls around.

Kirk Cousins was noticeably absent at Tuesday's Atlanta Falcons voluntary OTAs, a decision that may have been influenced by the team possibly trading the veteran quarterback sometime this offseason. Falcons coach Raheem Morris had a pretty nonchalant response when asked about Cousins missing OTAs, though.
