Atlanta Falcons

Sports news:Atlanta Falcons:Center Todd McClure, who missed the season opener with a knee injury, continued to sit out. Also missing practice were receiver Harry Douglas concussion, fullback Ovie Mughelli knee and cornerback Christopher Owens knee.

If Douglas isn’t cleared to play, it could mean more playing time at receiver for Kerry Meier and Eric Weems. If Owens isn’t able to play, Kelvin Hayden or Dominique Franks could get more playing time.

Justin Bieber probably wouldn’t have been even noticed except a local news channel tweeted the celebrity standing next to the Falcons owner and his family. Standing along the sidelines before kickoff, it appeared the kids had Bieber fever as everyone was smiling in the photo.

The main issue for Atlanta, however, was turnovers. The offense gave the ball up three times, which is incredibly rare for a Mike Smith run Falcons team that preach good ball security and more often than not win the turnover battle.
