Reasons for concern for 32 NFL teams
NFL News on Sporting News &bull Yesterday
Pass coverage. CB Dunta Robinson, the team's major offseason acquisition, has not played in three exhibition games because of a hamstring injury. He will likely get some action tonight at Jacksonville. If he's not 100 percent, the Falcons' chance of improving the 28th-ranked pass defense diminishes greatly.
