The long NFL offseason is officially over now that the Atlanta Falcons have kicked off training camp for the 2025 season. Players began arriving at the team's Flowery Branch training facility on Wednesday morning and will hold their first practice on Thursday.
Some big names, including quarterback Michael Penix Jr., running back Bijan Robinson and tight end Kyle Pitts, are already in the building. The Falcons have plenty of work to do if they're going to finally end their seven-year postseason drought, and it all begins at training camp.
Watch below as Penix, Robinson and others arrive for the start of camp.

Travis Kelce showed up to Chiefs camp with a dramatically different haircut
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has gone through numerous hair eras during his career. Last season, he grew his hair out (at Taylor Swift's urging, according to Patrick Mahomes). And he showed up to the first days of Chiefs training camp this week with even longer hair. That changed on Sunday, though. It looks like the fade is back for the future Hall of Famer. When the Chiefs took the field for Sunday's practice session, fans noticed that Kelce ditched the long hair in favor of the haircut he went with in the 2023 season. Yes, the long hair is officially gone. The fade worked out well for Kelce in 2023, so it makes sense.

49ers DE Tarron Jackson hospitalized after collision at training camp
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Tarron Jackson was hospitalized after a collision at training camp on Sunday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan announced the news to reporters after a morning practice session. Per beat writers on the scene, Jackson went down to the turf after being blocked and did not get up. He received treatment on the scene and was taken off the field on a backboard several minutes later. Shanahan told reporters that Jackson was conscious and had movement in his extremities. Jackson was transported to Stanford hospital for further evaluation. The precise nature of his injury was not clear from initial reports. Jackson, 27, joined the 49ers practice squad and signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract. He entered training camp seeking to earn a spot in the rotation and on San Francisco's 53-man roster. Beyond the obvious health concerns, Jackson's injury puts his status on the roster in doubt. Jackson is approaching what would be his fourth NFL season. An All-American at Coastal Carolina, Jackson's played in 24 NFL games since joining Philadelphia Eagles as a sixth-round draft pick in 2021. He played in 17 regular season games off the bench as a rookie. Jackson played in four games in 2022 before the Eagles waived him midseason. He rejoined the Eagles as a member of their practice squad and remained on the practice squad in 2023. He then signed with the Carolina Panthers practice squad in 2024 and played in three games with Carolina during the regular season. Jackson signed with the 49ers in January.

Chargers lock in Rashawn Slater with a multi-year extension
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday agreed to a multi-year contract extension with left tackle Rashawn Slater, keeping him as Justin Herbert's protector. Slater has started all 52 games at left tackle since being chosen 13th overall in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft out of Northwestern. Last season, he started 16 games including the postseason, as the Chargers' offense committed eight turnovers — the fewest in franchise history and tied for the second-fewest offensive turnovers in a single season in NFL history. As a rookie in 2021, Slater was a second-team All-Pro after leading a front that protected for the No. 4-ranked total offense in the NFL (390.2 yards per game) as Herbert threw for an AFC-best 32 touchdowns. Slater was also named the starting left tackle for the AFC in the Pro Bowl, becoming the first rookie tackle to do so since 2012. ___ AP NFL: The Associated Press
