What happened: Monday marks the first time in camp that Atlanta can evaluate both leading candidates in full-team periods. One had previously been limited to individual and 7-on-7 work before gaining clearance for 11-on-11 drills.

Why it matters: The change gives the Atlanta Falcons a direct comparison before Friday's preseason finale. The club has yet to settle on its Week 1 starter.

What to watch: The division and execution of 11-on-11 work will shape the next evaluation. Friday's playing-time plan remains the next decision.
