What happened: Taylor has worked with trainers since the spring while recovering from an injury. Stefanski said his recovery is progressing well.

Why it matters: Atlanta signed Taylor to a one-year deal this offseason, making him the projected starter at right tackle. His absence has forced the Falcons to test other options with the first-team line.

By the numbers: Taylor has started 111 games across seven NFL seasons. PFF ranked him No. 1 among the NFL's most penalized players since 2021.

What to watch: Watch for Taylor's activation from active PUP and his first work in team drills.
