The Atlanta Falcons got off to a good start in the 2023 NFL Preseason, thumping the Miami Dolphins 19-3 in a game where the depth defense and special teams were the stars. That victory came with a cost however, as it appears wide receiver Frank Darby suffered an injury that will sideline him for some time.

As a result, the team announced on Monday that they have waived/injured Darby. Atlanta also waived receiver Chris Blair with an injury settlement.

We've made the following roster moves:

This is a crushing blow for Darby, who emerged from training camp as a favorite for the fifth receiver spot on the roster.
