Falcons Begin Cuts, Release 12 Players Including Veteran DL Morgan Fox

Atlanta must pare 24 more spots to reach Tuesday's 53-man limit.

Overview

  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Atlanta's first wave of reductions, bringing the roster to 77 with the league deadline set for Tuesday afternoon.
  • The releases included QB Ben DiNucci, RB Elijah Dotson, CB Lamar Jackson, OL Matthew Cindric, OLB Ronnie Perkins, and several others.
  • Defensive lineman Morgan Fox, 30, was the most notable cut after appearing in all three preseason games, and he will be available once transactions clear.
  • Atlanta also placed offensive lineman Jake Hanson on season-ending injured reserve following an injury in the preseason finale against the Cowboys.
  • Reports differ on the terms of Fox’s March deal, and the team has not provided a detailed explanation for the decision following a winless preseason.
