If you have Falcons football fatigue, Onsi Saleh has a media availability set for Friday and Hawks camp opens in a week. Via @KLChouinard on X

What happened: The availability is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 25. Camp opens the following week ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Why it matters: Saleh enters camp after September front-office changes including Peter Dinwiddie's elevation to EVP. Atlanta has held trade talks moving Buddy Hield's $9.7 million salary before camp opens.

What to watch: Watch for Saleh's comments on roster construction and camp availability. Atlanta's first practice schedule will set the preseason timeline.
