The Atlanta Falcons struggled with their pass rush in Week 10, recording only one quarterback hit and no sacks in a close loss to the New Orleans Saints.

With the NFL trade deadline passed, the Falcons are unlikely to find significant upgrades. However, Bleacher Report suggests they consider signing Shaq Lawson, a former first-round pick who was recently released from the Carolina Panthers' practice squad.

Lawson, who has experience with the Buffalo Bills, could provide additional depth, although he is not expected to solve the team's ongoing pass-rush issues, which rank last in the league.

Dane Jackson is making his debut with the Carolina Panthers after being activated from injured reserve. He had been recovering from a hamstring injury sustained during the summer.

In addition to Jackson, the Panthers have signed defensive tackle T.J. Smith from the practice squad, while releasing cornerback Troy Hill and waiving center Andrew Raym to accommodate these changes. The team also elevated Shaq Lawson and Shaq Quarterman from the practice squad for their upcoming game against the Washington Commanders.
