Falcons 2026 roster: Atlanta claims three players off waivers, waive Zach Harrison and Natrone Brooks
The Falcoholic • • sports
Key Points:
- The Atlanta Falcons have claimed linebackers Yasir Abdullah and Jared Ivey, and tackle Cameron Williams, while waiving Zach Harrison, Natrone Brooks, and Jammie Robinson, with uncertain plans for their practice squad status.
- Abdullah has been a key special teams player for Jacksonville but has limited defensive snaps; he may compete for a roster spot by enhancing Atlanta’s special teams.
- Ivey, known for run defense and some pass-rushing ability, could earn a limited defensive role and will be evaluated during the preseason for fit in Atlanta’s edge group.
- Williams, a former sixth-round pick by the Eagles, joins the Falcons as they aim to develop his potential at tackle under coach Bill Callahan.
- The release of Zach Harrison is surprising given his past productivity and affordability, while Brooks and Robinson’s waivers are less unexpected due to their typical practice squad roles and special teams contributions.
