Last year, things got heated during the Falcons' joint practices with the Tennessee Titans as multiple fights broke out. In fact, things got so intense that the normally reserved Michael Penix Jr. even got involved in the skirmish.
The Falcons will face the Colts in the second week of the 2026 NFL preseason, so expect their joint practices to take place a few days before the game on August 22.
In case you forgot, here's a look at the Falcons' full preseason schedule.
Preseason Week 1: Denver Broncos
The Falcons will begin the 2026 NFL preseason at home against the Denver Broncos on August 14. Denver lost in the AFC Championship game to the New England Patriots. The Broncos will be looking to get quarterback Bo Nix back in time for the regular season.

Preseason Week 2: At Indianapolis Colts
In Week 2 of the preseason, the Falcons will head to Indianapolis to take on the Colts. Last season, Atlanta lost to Indianapolis in Berlin. Similar to the situation with Bo Nix in Denver, the Colts will be looking their quarterback, Daniel Jones, to get back on the field before the start of the season following a season-ending knee injury in 2025.
