birdz4i Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The Falcons had two offensive linemen cleared to practice on Thursday.Left tackle Jake Matthews, recovering from offseason foot surgery, will be able to participate in the team's first practice of training camp on Friday. His reps may be limited, however."It feels good," Matthews said, per the Atlanta Journal Constitution. "I'm ready to go. I'm cleared to do anything. When we start tomorrow, I will be out there and playing. I'm excited. It's been awhile."Right guard Jon Asamoah was also cleared to begin practice. He suffered an ankle injury in the offseason.http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfootball/update/25254686/falcons-jake-matthews-jon-asamoah-cleared-to-practice?FTAG=YHF7e3228e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazoo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Magnificent news on Jake Mathews, Lord almighty do we need that dude out there playing at a high level right away.I honestly don't think most fans realize the imact that a really good LT can have to an offense. Jake played on one leg all lasrt year, I cannot WAIT to see how much he will be helping Ryan in the passing game especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, he proved to me he's tough as nails last year and quite frankly, given the injury and the fact he trained at RT all camp and opreseason and was shifted over to LT for first game, he played very well all things considered. I am already confident we have the franchise LT we've desperately needed and this year he'll shut up his detractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clownorg Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Just get them BOTH through camp in one piece and 100% healthy. That's all I ask**** the whole team healthy is what I really want. We have had an awful case of the injury bug the last 2 seasons. It's someone else's turn now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
