Not only does Sunday’s matchup feature quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota — the top two picks in the 2015 NFL draft, respectively — facing off again, it’s also the first game of the post-Sean Payton era for New Orleans.
Following Wednesday’s practice, the team released its first official injury report for Week 1. Rookie wide receiver Drake London was one of three Falcons players listed.
