The Atlanta Falcons were cleared to return to their facility Friday after recording no new positive COVID-19 tests on Thursday, a source told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
As a result, Atlanta's game with the Minnesota Vikings is on track to be played Sunday as scheduled, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Falcons confirmed one positive test belonged to a team personnel member, while rookie defensive tackle Marlon Davidson is on the reserve/COVID-19 list after reportedly testing positive.
Atlanta's game against Minnesota will be the club's first since firing longtime head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris took over as interim head coach.
