Falcons Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Though there has been no announcement, there continue to be signs that rookie Matt Ryan will be the season-opening starter when Atlanta faces visiting Detroit on Sept. 7.
He has taken the bulk of the snaps in each of the two preseason games against Jacksonville and Indianapolis, respectively, despite not starting. Ryan is expected to open the game Friday against Tennessee.
Typically, the third game of the preseason is when most teams’ starters play into the third quarter and rotations are set.
Smith has not disclosed the starting quarterback yet, but he said each quarterback would start a preseason game and Chris Redman and Joey Harrington have had their turns. It seems unlikely third-year player D.J.
