The Bengals and Falcons will practice together at the Falcons’ Flowery Branch, Ga. facilities on Monday, August 5 and Tuesday, August 6. The Bengals announced the joint practices on Thursday.

The practices are open to the public, the Bengals said. Flowery Branch is more than 40 miles north of Atlanta.

The Bengals play the Falcons in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome on Thursday, August 8, the preseason opener for both clubs. The clubs do not meet in the regular season.

The Bengals and Falcons are two of eight teams to have made the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, with the Patriots, Ravens, Texans, Broncos, Packers and 49ers the others.

The Falcons practiced with the Titans last summer in Dalton, Georgia.
