The Falcons released Johnson on Saturday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Johnson's tenure with Atlanta has come to an end just over a week after he first signed with the team. The 2022 fifth-round pick spent last season with the Colts, logging six tackles (four solo) across 12 games, and will now look to find a new opportunity elsewhere.

The Falcons placed Hall (undisclosed) on injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Hall will now be forced to miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign unless he's let go with an injury settlement. He most recently played for the Cardinals, appearing in two games during the 2025 season, and will now shift his focus to getting healthy.

Reiger (undisclosed) tried out with the Eagles this week, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Reiger has now recovered from the undisclosed injury that landed him on Miami's injured reserve earlier this month before being waived with an injury settlement. The rookie undrafted free agent will now look to earn a roster spot with the Eagles or another team.

Traore failed to catch his sole target in Friday's preseason finale against the Dolphins.

Traore played 26 offensive snaps for the Dolphins in the contest as a reserve tight end. The rookie fifth-rounder is in line for a regular-season role that will predominantly require blocking for the offense and special-teams units. It is unlikely that Traore can surpass Greg Dulcich or Will Kacmarek (undisclosed) enough to earn any substantial looks in the passing game.

The Falcons released Tindall on Saturday, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

Tindall joined the team in March and spent the offseason competing for a depth role but in the end was unable to earn a roster spot. The 2022 third-round pick spent part of last season with the Cardinals and will now look to catch on with another team.

Rush completed 13 of his 18 pass attempts for 106 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason finale against the Dolphins.

One of Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix (knee) is set to start Week 1 against the Steelers, but Rush has put consistent tape together as the No. 3 quarterback. Penix is supposedly set to start the regular season, but the quarterback has yet to progress his game availability as the preseason comes to a close. Tagovailoa was accurate in his short stint but fumbled the football early on in the contest, meaning that if Penix is not ready for Week 1 and Tagovailoa fails, Rush could see a fair amount of pass attempts in the early weeks of the regular season.

The Eagles cut Thomas on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Ambry's time with the Eagles has come to an end after he signed with the team back in January. The 26-year-old hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since the 2023 season with the 49ers, and he will now look to catch on with another team.

McLaughlin has been diagnosed with a concussion and is in the league's five-step protocol, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

McLaughlin suffered a concussion during Saturday's preseason finale against the Colts. The backup center will need to be regularly checked by an independent neurologist to progress through the protocol and return to full contact practices.

Vaki did not play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Colts, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

Vaki is not battling any injury. The running back was held out of Saturday's game because he has already proven himself throughout training camp. With Isiah Pacheco (back) still dealing with an injury, Vaki is in line to see reserve snaps behind Jahmyr Gibbs for the Lions' Week 1 game against the Saints.

The Broncos waived Rowan on Saturday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Rowan's time in Denver has seemingly come to an end just over three weeks after he signed with the team. The 25-year-old will now look to find a new opportunity with another squad.
