Coming off a bye in Week 6, the Atlanta Falcons have won two of three games and generally appear to be headed in the right direction. Head coach Arthur Smith addressed the media on Wednesday afternoon, giving some injury updates and discussing this weekend’s matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
One topic that came up was the return of guard Josh Andrews, who spent the first six weeks on injured reserve. Andrews figured to start this season at left guard before breaking his hand late in training camp. In his absence, rookie Jalen Mayfield filled in and despite a rough first two games, the third-round pick has shown signs of improvement each week.
