Impact The Falcons have provided Mack with a number of rest days throughout the first half of 2020, so holding him back in practice may have been little more than a precautionary measure. The six-time Pro Bowler has missed just one of 512 offensive snaps this season for Atlanta, once again demonstrating incredible durability. He hasn't sat out a regular-season game since the start of 2015, and he'll be ready to go Thursday night against a Carolina defense that is tied for last in the NFL with 0.9 sacks per game.

AUGUST 13, 2020 • ATLANTAFALCONS.COM
Limitations expected pre-season Coach Dan Quinn said that Mack will have some limitations to his workload during training camp, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Impact There isn't a specific injury to note here, as Mack will instead just be receiving some maintenance days periodically as he heads into his age-35 campaign. Mack dealt with an elbow injury in the first quarter of the 2019 regular season, but he ultimately played a full 16-game slate to extend his streak to five consecutive years without missing a start. As Mack works in and out of the rotation during the lead up to Week 1, rookie third-round draft pick Matt Hennessy will see more first-team reps before yielding the starting role to Mack in time for Atlanta's Week 1 matchup with Seattle.

Impact The Falcons averaged only 85.1 rushing yards per game and 3.8 yards per carry last season, and much of that struggle could be attributed to offensive line issues last year, though DeVonta Freeman's various injuries did not help. This development should be an encouraging factor for Todd Gurley's potential production.

Impact The 34-year-old isn't in danger of losing his starting spot at center any time in the near future, having earned Pro Bowl nods in four of the past five seasons while starting in all 80 of his team's regular-season games during that span. Mack is, however, entering his 13th NFL campaign, and the Falcons are making preparations for his eventual departure. Mack is discounting no option at this point, but a decision on his future with the organization will have to be made at season's end, as his five-year, $45 million deal is set to expire in March.
