Lofton And Falcons Eager To Get Camp Started

FLOWERY BRANCH, GA – Atlanta Falcons defensive captain Curtis Lofton likes what he sees with the start of training camp just a few hours away.

There were times this summer when Lofton wondered if the NFL lockout would ever end and the fourth-year linebacker is delighted that football has finally returned.

“We can’t wait, and from what I can see everyone is in good shape and ready to go,” Lofton said of the first practice at 9:45 a.m. Friday, which is closed to the public.

Players have checked into their on-site dormitory rooms ahead of the practices Friday. The afternoon session, which begins at 3:25, is open to the public and free of charge.
