The Atlanta Falcons are looking for better red-zone execution. They are one of the league's leading teams in total yards but still rank close to the bottom in scoring.

The Atlanta Falcons released wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud on Tuesday after the veteran opened the season as a starter but was inactive the last two games despite being healthy.

The Atlanta Falcons returned to practice on Thursday to begin preparation for this Sunday's matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was a limited participant due to a bone bruise on his knee.
