The Falcons’ initial 53-man roster was announced earlier this week, and we’ve spent the past few days analyzing it and discussing the players placed on the practice squad. Congratulations are in order for those that made it, but the brutal business of the NFL means that players at the end of the depth chart are always in danger of getting cut if injuries or specific positional needs occur.
Already this week—mere days after announcing the roster—we’ve seen several players cut, including John Wetzel and Deone Bucannon. More cuts could be on the way, particularly as we get closer to the weekend and the injury outlook for key contributors comes into focus.
