The San Francisco 49ers took down the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7 but did not get a chance to go up against controversial former Niners wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud.
Now, the Falcons have released McCloud.
The reasoning for this has been a little murky. Atlanta’s head coach Raheem Morris said that it was a personal matter that caused McCloud to be a healthy scratch in each of the team’s last two games, but it seems there were deeper issues going on.
McCloud began the season as a starter but apparently had a fall from grace.
