Matt Ryan throws to Falcons WRs ahead of Colts joint practice

Matt Ryan participated in warm-ups, throwing to Atlanta Falcons wide receivers during joint practices with the Indianapolis Colts in Indianapolis on August 20, 2026. Ryan, serving as the Falcons' president of football, was previously the team's starting quarterback before being traded to the Colts in 2022. The Falcons currently face a quarterback competition, primarily between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr., the latter yet to be cleared for contact. Tagovailoa had an underwhelming start in a preseason game against the Denver Broncos. Atlanta's starters, including Tagovailoa, will not play in their upcoming game against the Colts, with Jack Strand and Cooper Rush expected to split snaps.
