Report: Falcons OT Matt Gono survives cuts, makes final roster

Matt Gono put together an impressive preseason, and he’s now slated to join the Falcons’ final roster. Yesterday’s departure of offensive tackle Austin Pasztor somewhat signaled Atlanta’s plans for Gono, and those plans are now clear as he makes the 53.

Fox 5’s Justin Felder had the scoop:

Per NFL source, Falcons undrafted rookie tackle Matt Gono is expected to make the team. Played at D-III Wesley College. Nothing official yet from the team.

Matt Gono had a real rough go of it Thursday night against Miami, but his performance in the first three preseason games outweighed his struggles in the final game.
