Falcons running back Thomas Brown was a sixth-round draft pick in 2008 and a long shot to make the team, but his play from scrimmage and on kickoff returns had him in the hunt for a roster spot. To go from nearly making the team to being on injured reserve in a matter of seconds was difficult for Brown, whose injury did not require surgery. Nine months later, however, he is recovering fully and performing well during the team's organized training activities. Source: D. Orlando Ledbetter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
