The Atlanta Falcons have been unusually quiet when it comes to roster moves this offseason, choosing to largely keep the back end of the roster intact as they’ve moved through preseason. That’s going to change in a hurry, potentially starting with this news.
Former Packer Colby Pearson always faced long odds of making the final roster, given how stacked the Falcons are at receiver, but now he won’t even get the chance to compete further. The team has waived him with an injury settlement, meaning they could add him to injured reserve (I believe) if he clears waivers.
