Austin Ekeler returning from IR?:
Dan Quinn said that Austin Ekeler is “trending” the right way for a possible return this season. “Absolutely possible.”
This is the last week of his IR stint. Quinn did not offer a timeline beyond sounding positive on his recovery.

Jonathan Allen:
Dan Quinn on Jon Allen’s return: “We’re looking forward to it. … When it does happen, it will definitely bring energy to our defense.”

Rookie leaders:
Dan Quinn called Mike Sainristil and QB Jayden Daniels “full on leaders.” Hard to do that as rookies. Feel some of that stems from having strong veteran leaders.

Jayden Daniels:
Quinn on Daniels: “He came in with a mature sense about him.” Quinn said if you anoint someone as a leader it’s BS. Wanted to make sure Daniels earned it; he did.

“Family” Christmas party:
Quinn said one of the players said at their Christmas party the other night remarked that it felt less like an ‘office party’ and more like one with your friends. Pleased Quinn to hear.

Michael Penix Jr:
Jayden Daniels said he and Falcons QB Michael Penix built a strong relationship dating to before the 2023 college season. He said they’re “boys… He’s a cool individual. Down to earth, humble, super funny. … He likes to rap and he freestyles.”
