The Falcons waived Simon on Saturday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Simon signed a reserve/future deal with the team in January but didn't impress enough to earn a roster spot. The 25-year-old spent last season on Atlanta's practice squad, where he could return should he go unclaimed on waivers.

The Falcons signed Simon to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Simon stuck with the Falcons' practice squad throughout the 2025 season after ultimately failing to make the 53-man roster. The tight end was not elevated to the active roster at all this season. The future contract will allow Simon to compete for a spot on the 2026 roster once the preseason commences.

Joshua Simon: Sticking around in Atlanta

The Falcons signed Simon to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Simon entered training camp as a longshot to make the 53-man roster, but he impressed the coaching staff enough to stick around on the practice squad. The undrafted rookie out of South Carolina will provide the Falcons depth at tight end and could be elevated to the active roster if Kyle Pitts, Charlie Woerner, Teagan Quitoriano or Feleipe Franks were to miss time.
