The Falcons, like every other NFL team, had to cut down to 85 players by Tuesday afternoon. They decided to go a little further than that a little sooner than that.
Earlier today, Atlanta announced the release of defensive lineman George Obinna and offensive lineman Bryce Hargrove. That brought the roster to 84 players, and given that they don’t have to cut down to 80 until next week, that’s either a head start because they don’t love their depth options or a sign they’re about to sign someone.
We have released George Obinna and Bryce Hargrove.
