FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — After a weekend that sold out Saturday’s open session, the Atlanta Falcons turn the calendar to another public look at AT&T Training Camp on Monday morning.

The club’s official training-camp page lists Monday, Aug. 3, at IBM Performance Field with a 9:15 a.m. start. Free tickets are required for admission. The same schedule shows additional open practices Tuesday at 1:55 p.m., Wednesday and Friday at 9:15 a.m., a Saturday Night Lights session Aug. 8 at Lanier High School, and more Flowery Branch dates the following week before joint practices with the Indianapolis Colts on Aug. 19–20 in Indianapolis.

Saturday, Aug. 1, was marked sold out on the team site. Friday, July 31, was reserved for season-ticket members only. Ticketmaster’s Falcons training-camp portal mirrors the Aug. 3–5 window for free claims, with a four-ticket-per-fan cap described in the club FAQs.

What fans need before the gates

Club FAQs on atlantafalcons.com spell out the logistics that matter most on a humid August morning:

  • Gates open one hour before practice.
  • Practice times can change; indoor weather or extreme-heat moves make sessions closed to the public.
  • Autographs, when available, are limited to one item per person along the fan hill after practice.
  • Off-site parking with complimentary shuttles is the plan; details are posted closer to camp.
  • Still cameras with lenses under 6 inches and without flash are allowed; video recording is prohibited.
  • Backpacks and large bags over 8.5 by 13 by 5 inches are not permitted; bag checks apply.
  • Retail is cashless; water filling stations are available, and bottled water is sold on site.
  • The facility is smoke-free.

Those rules are operational notes, not color — they determine whether a family can get from the shuttle line to the hill before the first individual period.

On-field backdrop entering Monday

ESPN’s Marc Raimondi camp file, updated through late July and the first days of August, has tracked a quarterback room under unusual strain. Michael Penix Jr. has been limited while recovering from a right-knee injury and was not fully cleared for 11-on-11 work in the early camp notes. Tua Tagovailoa has managed a tight back, appearing in individual work on some days while missing team periods on others. Undrafted rookie Jack Strand, out of Minnesota State–Moorhead, took the bulk of live 11-on-11 snaps and drew public praise in Raimondi’s July 31 notes after going 7-of-8 in team work Friday. Veteran Cooper Rush was signed midweek after Tagovailoa’s back issue surfaced and was already taking secondary team snaps within 72 hours of arrival, per the same ESPN file.

Separate ESPN headlines linked from that camp package covered Bijan Robinson’s early-camp presence without full participation while extension talks continued, Tagovailoa’s uncertainty about a full return timeline, and the team’s public acknowledgment that defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich’s wife died after a cancer battle — a personal tragedy that pulled Ulbrich away from the facility and led head coach Kevin Stefanski to prioritize organizational support over football talk at Friday’s media availability.

None of those storylines are settled by a single Monday practice. They are the context fans will watch when the first-team offensive line and secondary take the field in front of the hill.

Looking ahead on the camp calendar

  • Aug. 3–5, 7: Open sessions at IBM Performance Field (mixed morning and afternoon starts).
  • Aug. 8: Saturday Night Lights at Lanier High School, 7 p.m.
  • Aug. 10–12: Additional Flowery Branch opens.
  • Aug. 19–20: Joint practices at Indianapolis ahead of the clubs’ preseason meeting.

Preseason calendars across NFL coverage point to the first full preseason week beginning around Aug. 13. Until then, Flowery Branch remains the public window into how Atlanta sorts a crowded skill-position group and a compromised quarterback depth chart.
