Three days into camp, there appears to once again be ambiguity around whether veteran defensive tackle Eddie Goldman is going to play this season. Falcons coach Arthur Smith alluded to that today, saying we might know by tomorrow whether Goldman would retire again.
While it’s not official, the Falcons just made a roster move that would seem to indicate that announcement is coming. As NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported, the team added Justin Elliss, a 10-year veteran interior defensive lineman who would presumably compete for the same nose tackle role Goldman would have been vying for this summer in Atlanta.
