Michael Jerrell was acquired from Seattle in a trade, adding depth on the Falcons’ offensive line behind starters. Jerrell’s camp performance will determine whether he cements a role or remains a depth option behind the top backups.

Falcons traded for Michael Jerrell, but Wilkinson remains Week 1 starter. Jerrell adds depth on the edge and could push for snaps later, but Week 1 role is likely limited behind Wilkinson.

Jerrell was acquired from Seattle for a conditional seventh-round pick, providing tackle depth behind Jerrell Wilkinson and rookie Jack Nelson. His acquisition reflects Atlanta's commitment to interior and edge protection, with Jerrell expected to compete for roster spots as depth and depth-chart flexibility.

Jerrell, a raw second-year tackle from Findlay, joined Atlanta in a move aimed at shoring RT depth after Wilkinson and Parker. His college tape and limited pro exposure imply a developmental path, but his pass-protection showed flame moments in his rookie look. If he settles, Jerrell could push for swing tackle duties and push the Falcons toward a more flexible line this season.

Michael Jerrell’s acquisition adds edge depth and tackle presence for the Falcon’s line, supporting protection and run game stability as McGary’s IR prolongs and Norton returns.
