Overview

• Ben DiNucci announced on X that Atlanta released him on August 23 and teased an upcoming career update.
• The Falcons listed DiNucci among 12 cuts as they began trimming the roster ahead of Tuesday’s 53-man deadline, per Bleacher Report.
• Signed on August 18 following Emory Jones’ head injury, DiNucci briefly appeared in Friday’s preseason loss to Dallas and threw an interception on two attempts.
• Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins hold the top depth-chart spots, with Easton Stick as QB3 in Atlanta’s current setup.
• The Athletic’s latest projection had Atlanta potentially carrying only two quarterbacks and cutting both DiNucci and Stick, reflecting pressure from injuries at other positions.
