Watts Returns to Practice, Ready for Season

Atlanta's safety Watts has made a return to practice this Monday, according to reports. This comes after a period of absence where he missed the previous week's practice and the team's preseason opener against Denver on Friday. His return indicates that his undisclosed issue was minor and he is now on track to resume his starting role. Watts proved his value last season, accumulating 96 total tackles, with 59 of those being solo efforts. He also demonstrated his ball-hawking ability with 11 pass breakups and five interceptions.
