Overview
- The Falcons claimed linebackers Yasir Abdullah and Jared Ivey plus offensive tackle Cameron Williams via the NFL transaction wire after final roster cutdowns.
- Yasir Abdullah joins chiefly as a special-teams asset after playing more than 70% of special-teams snaps in recent seasons and recording eight special-teams tackles in 2025.
- Jared Ivey arrives as a young run-defense option with some pass-rush upside after limited defensive snaps in Seattle and will receive a multi-week look to see how he fits.
- Cameron Williams was a 2025 sixth-round pick cut by the Eagles for slow year‑over‑year development and is now a developmental tackle the Falcons hope to improve under Bill Callahan.
- The claims create immediate competition for depth roles and could displace players such as JD Bertrand while the team completes corresponding roster and practice‑squad moves.
