Atlanta Falcons with D. Orlando Ledbetter | Atlanta Journal-Constitution — New acquisition Dunta Robinson with a defensive play against receiver Troy Bergeron. (Curtis Compton/ccompton@ajc.com) FLOWERY BRANCH – Falcons wide receiver Troy Bergeron has been the forgotten veteran in training camp.

With Dunta Robinson, the Falcons No. 1 cornerback out with a hamstring injury, Grimes will likely line up across from Moss. Owens may get a shot, too.
