Thanks to the new preseason schedule, where teams are playing three preseason games instead of four, roster cuts start early. The Falcons were sitting at 90 players after its first preseason game against the Detroit Lions. Sadly for these players, there was only a very short time to show the team what they could do.
Today, the Falcons announced four cuts and a player placed on injured reserve, bringing them in line with the 85 man roster requirement. Per the team, the cuts are tight end Tucker Fisk, linebacker Rashad Smith, defensive back Tre Webb, and punter Seth Vernon.
