Final Falcons roster battle primer for 2019

What roster spots are still open? Who is still competing in the final preseason game? If you’ve forgotten or you just need it collected all in one place, I’m here to help.

Running back: #3 job, #4/#5 and returner

The #3 job is down to Qadree Ollison and Brian Hill, with Hill looking like he has the leg up given his strong summer and more varied skill set at the moment. The Falcons could keep four backs or even five backs if they don’t keep a fullback around, with Barner or Green serving as returners

Wide receiver: #6 job

The Falcons may do some funky things with their positions on offense this year, given their signaled intent to use a tight end as a fullback, and that could mean they only go with five receivers.
