Falcons to see what they have in QB T.J. Yates Posted Aug 7, 2014 The Atlanta Falcons traded for quarterback T.J. Yates in June with hopes of solidifying the backup quarterback position behind Matt Ryan. It's been hard to determine Yates' value so far just based on training camp practices. He is still working on his timing with the receivers. But Yates should see his share of time during Friday night's exhibition against the Miami Dolphins. (ESPN.com)
