Overview

• Atlanta announced Saturday that DiNucci was among 12 players released as the club began reducing its roster ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.
• DiNucci confirmed the move on X and teased a career update, later posting an airport beer photo joking it was his seventh NFL cut.
• He had signed with the Falcons on Aug. 18 after reserve quarterback Emory Jones sustained a head injury.
• The 28-year-old made a brief preseason appearance against the Cowboys, attempting two passes that included an interception.
• With Michael Penix Jr., Kirk Cousins and Easton Stick set at quarterback, Atlanta had little incentive to carry a fourth passer.
