Roster trimmed down to 80 players ahead of deadline

The Atlanta Falcons lost their preseason matchup against the New York Jets on Monday night and there wasn’t much time to review the film before Tuesday’s cut deadline.

In order to get the roster down to 80 players by 4:00 p.m. ET, the Falcons released WR Auden Tate, WR Geronimo Allison, LB Kuony Deng and defensive back Lafayette Pitts. The team also waived DL Jalen Dalton with an injury settlement.

Atlanta will take on Jacksonville this Saturday and then the team must get down to 53 players by Tuesday, August 30. Stay up to date with each transaction using our roster tracker.
