The Atlanta Falcons are continuing to tweak their roster ahead of next Tuesday’s 53-man cutdown.
In a bit of a surprise, the team announced Friday it has cut offensive tackle Rick Leonard and brought back undrafted tight end Tucker Fisk, who it released earlier this month.
Leonard, a journeyman offensive lineman who was drafted by the Saints back when Terry Fontenot was in the front office, was seen as a potential swing tackle candidate behind starters Jake Matthews and Kaleb McGary. A rough multi-penalty effort against the Jets seemingly dented his chances, and this confirms that.
