Falcons announce flurry of moves, including cutting RB Javian Hawkins and signing QB Josh Rosen

With Falcons players off today, it seemed likely that the front office would make moves to get their roster down to the required 80 while also adding depth back to the QB room with the loss of A.J. McCarron to a torn ACL.

Well, the team made those moves and confirmed reports that QB Josh Rosen would come in to compete for the backup QB position. A couple of the cuts were unexpected.

We have made several transactions.

Placed on IR: AJ McCarron

Signed: Josh Rosen

Released: Willie Wright, Austin Trammell, Javian Hawkins, Olive Sagapolu, Shareef Millerhttps://t.
