Sean Harlow was supposed to be the future at guard for the Falcons, if not as a starter, then at least as an athletic and talented reserve. That may still come to pass—the Falcons could sneak Harlow onto their practice squad—but the possibility seems remote at best now.
Per D. Orlando Ledbetter at the AJC, Harlow is expected to be among the Falcons’ 37 roster cuts between now and 4 p.m. tomorrow. Harlow had fallen behind 2016 sixth rounder Wes Schweitzer and versatile reserve Ben Garland, to say nothing of starters Andy Levitre and Brandon Fusco, and the Falcons simply didn’t think he was worth keeping around as a fifth guard on the active roster.
