What happened: Atlanta activated Jawaan Taylor from PUP on Tuesday, clearing him to practice. Kevin Stefanski had described the veteran as close to returning after he attended walkthroughs and meetings during camp.
Why it matters: Taylor is Atlanta's projected starting right tackle, making his reintegration a key offensive-line issue during preseason camp. His return gives the Falcons time to assess his readiness before the regular season.
By the numbers: Taylor has made 111 career starts at tackle.
What to watch: His participation in team drills and Atlanta's distribution of right-tackle reps will show how quickly he is reintegrated.
