Atlanta locked in its 2025 roster and filled 17 practice squad spots with a mix of camp signings and a trade. Ronnie Perkins joined the Falcons’ practice squad, Simeon Barrow was added on the interior line, and Brandon Parker was released to clear space. Michael Jerrell arrived from Seattle, while Ryan Hayes and Carter Warren joined the practice squad after waivers; Lenny Krieg remains via IPP.

The moves bolster depth on both lines and reflect a roster-building approach designed to weather injuries and support special teams. Perkins and Barrow bring edge pressure and interior rush, while Jerrell, Hayes, and Warren provide versatile blocking depth behind the starters.

Elijah Wilkinson will start at right tackle for Atlanta in Week 1 vs. Tampa Bay, taking over for Kaleb McGary who landed on IR. The Falcons stuck with a veteran edge option, despite adding Michael Jerrell in a trade, to protect the quarterback and stabilize the line for a season opener against a disruptive Bucs front. Jalon Walker is on track to play on defense, while Darnell Mooney remains day-to-day with a shoulder injury, potentially limiting options for the passing game.

Atlanta signed 14 to its practice squad and completed a trade to acquire Seattle’s Michael Jerrell, adding immediate depth at right tackle after Kaleb McGary’s injury. The move helps stabilize the line while the Falcons shore up depth behind their starters, with several practice-squad returnees and a trio of offensive linemen potentially joining soon.

On the 53-man roster, Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier, Drake London and Kyle Pitts headline the offense, backed by a sturdy O-line featuring Lindstrom, Bergeron, Nelson, Neuzil and Matthews. Jerrell’s arrival could influence early-season rotation, but the unit remains molded around a rookie-heavy, explosive attack.

The Falcons trimmed to 53 and lined up a plan for immediate tackle depth on the practice squad, signing Ryan Hayes and Carter Warren after waivers, and adding Michael Jerrell via trade. Nick Nash and Cobee Bryant were retained on the PS, with Lenny Krieg kept as international-pathway kicker insurance behind Younghoe Koo. Easton Stick was waived and Carlos Washington was cut, signaling a careful, development-forward approach to Week 1 roster depth.

The moves emphasize up-front versatility and player development over quick waiver adds, potentially unlocking late-blooming contributors on the practice squad and giving the Falcons a clearer path to fill-in options if injuries hit early in the season.
