The Atlanta Falcons got a little crazy with the cuts a few days ago, and actually cut one too many players. With only a 52 man roster, the rumor has been the team would sign a veteran after game one, when base deals are no longer guaranteed. If you thought, “hey, they could probably have anyone on the active roster, just in case,” then you would be right.
Dan Quinn may have kept the spot open in case they needed to promote Jeff Overbaugh in for an injured Josh Harris. After today’s practice, the team filled that last roster spot.
