Keeping Gurley fresh could be one the Falcons’ keys to success this season as the team tries to get back to the playoffs following two-straight 7-9 finishes in 2018 and 2019. It’s clear the coaching staff has a plan to help the former Georgia star enter Week 1 against the Seahawks in the best shape possible.
The Falcons have also placed backup guard Jamon Brown in the NFL’s concussion protocol.
