Jake Matthews "feeling good" ahead of pre-season

Atlanta Falcons offensive tackle Jake Matthews has claimed that he is ready for the new season after an injury-hit rookie year.

The 23-year-old was the sixth pick in the 2014 Draft but missed much of the campaign after he suffered a foot injury, which required surgery.

However, he has been involved in training camp and is ready for pre-season.

He told ESPN: "It's been feeling good. I haven't missed a day. I haven't missed any reps. I think everyone is sore. It's training camp. But it's doing well. It's bouncing back every day. I'm feeling good."

The Falcons meet the Tennessee Titans in their first pre-season match tomorrow.
