With the Tuesday roster deadline approaching, the Falcons released 12 players on Saturday as part of required cuts. Fox signed with Atlanta early in free agency and had appeared slated to handle a role along the defensive line, but he was released after playing in all three preseason contests. The 30-year-old will seek a new opportunity once final cuts conclude. DiNucci, who signed on Monday and provided a contributor under center for the preseason finale, was also waived and could only remain via a practice squad spot. The roster now stands at 77 players and must be trimmed to 53 by Tuesday afternoon.
Fox signed with Atlanta early in free agency, and the veteran appeared to be slated to handle a role along the defensive line as a result. Somewhat surprisingly, though, he has been released. Fox played in all three of the team's preseason contests, a sign he was on the roster bubble. The 30-year-old will now hit the market in search of his next opportunity (which will no doubt present itself after final cuts are made and teams sort out their initial rosters).
DiNucci signed on Monday and by doing so provided the Falcons with a contributor under center for their preseason finale. and Kirk Cousins sat out the contest in preparation for their respective roles as starter and backup in 2025. Unless he is retained via the practice squad, DiNucci will need to look elsewhere while aiming to latch onto an NFL roster.
