The Atlanta Falcons only have three defensive tackles, which is apparently more than enough. We saw a ton of waiver claims and movement around the league, but none of it happened with Atlanta.
In total, 44 players were claimed off of waivers today. A busy NFL weekend.

There’s not much to say here. The Falcons still have to setup their practice squad, and that news should start coming in today. The team was either blocked by other teams with higher priority, or saw no one they thought would improve the team.
Two former Falcons got picked up and added to some active rosters. In fact, it was two players we thought might make the roster.
#Packers have claimed former #Falcons DE Chris Odom, per the #NFL transaction wire.

Odom looked really impressive and was given a ton of snaps this preseason. I had him penciled into the final 53.
#Browns claimed 5 players. WR Reggie Davis from #Falcons, DB Michael Jordan from #Rams, DL T.Y. McGill, WR Kasen Williams, QB Josh Woodrum.

Reggie Davis was raw, but had way more upside than WR6 Nick Williams. It felt like either Davis or Hall could have beat out Williams. Neither did.
