The Atlanta Falcons received good news in regards to cornerback Jeff Okudah’s ankle injury over the weekend, indicating that he will return at some point “early” during the regular season per head coach Arthur Smith. Host Aaron Freeman discusses why it’s important for Okudah’s NFL future for him to get a chance at redemption this upcoming season.

Later, he discusses the timeline for when Okudah might return and why it’s important for the Falcons defensive line and pass rush to step up in his absence against the team’s early-season opponents. Finally, he looks at 2021 draft picks in WR Frank Darby, OL Jalen Mayfield, CB Darren Hall, and DE Ade Ogundeji to discuss if those players are having good camps after being initially written off entering the summer.
