Bralen Trice was poised for a significant role on defense and to potentially start in his rookie season. Unfortunately for the young pass rusher, a significant injury during the preseason prevented him from playing at all in 2024. Trice suffered a season-ending ACL tear during the second quarter of their preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins.

During Tuesday’s press conference, Raheem Morris gave an injury update on Bralen Trice. Morris shared that Trice is still not ready for practice and full participation as he continues to spend most of his time with the physical therapist. Although the Falcons don’t have a specific timetable for return, they hope he will be ready for training camp.
“He is at the point where he’s out there with our PT,” Morris said, via Terrin Waack of the team’s website. “I don’t want to misstep with my words. He is with him most of the time. He’s doing a couple things on the side. He’s doing a lot of the running things. But definitely not at the ‘full’ category yet if we were doing some of those things. So, he’s working his way back.”
