Falcons waive 4 players ahead of deadline, including former UGA DT John Atkins

The NFL preseason is a mix of promise and devastation. For each undrafted free agent that makes a positive impression and pushes for a spot on the final 53, there are the hopefuls who fail to impress and find their dreams come to a quick end. It’s the worst part of the preseason.

The first round of cuts is just 5 players and the Falcons are ahead of the curve slightly, announcing that they’ve waived four of the mandatory five already.

The Falcons have waived/injured WR J'Mon Moore and have waived DL John Atkins, CB Marcus Murphy and OL William Sweet.
