The Atlanta Falcons will give starters significant minutes during preseason matchups this year. Head coach Kevin Stefanski wants his top players ready when the 2026 season kicks off. "I just think you have to play football to get ready to play football," said Stefanski, per Yahoo Sports. How much starters play depends on what joint practices reveal and where the coaching staff thinks the top end of the roster needs work before Week 1. The coach wants fans at camp.
