The Falcons released Kwiatkoski on Tuesday, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.

Kwiatkoski signed a one-year deal with Atlanta in May after appearing in eight games for the Raiders in 2021. He was expected to compete for a depth role at inside linebacker, but the return of Deion Jones made Kwiatkoski the odd man out. The 2016 fourth-round pick will look to find a new NFL opportunity before the start of the 2022 campaign.
