A former Clemson wide receiver has been released by this NFL team.
The Atlanta Falcons released Ray-Ray McCloud on Tuesday.
McCloud did not play in the Falcons’ last two games against the Buffalo Bills in Week 6 and the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. He was a healthy scratch for both contests.
McCloud was sent home ahead of the Week 7 matchup, according to Falcons head coach Raheem Morris, who called it a football decision.
Morris said McCloud being sent home wasn’t a disciplinary action, nor was it related to the Falcons’ recent firing of wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard, who also worked with McCloud with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2020-21.
