    Falcons CB Chris Owens, the team's third-round draft pick from San Jose State, will likely get an opportunity to start. "Chris Owens for us is a combination of a very physical and aggressive corner," Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said. "He comes to the table with a lot of speed. He's a sub-4.5 guy. He's actually a lower-4.4 guy. He's around a 4.43 player. He's increasing our speed in the secondary. Increases our physicality and has very good ball skills. He's gotten his hands on a lot of balls. He definitely brings an element of urgency to our defense as well."
