Emory Jones was waived with an injury designation, and DJ Chark was cut from the team despite his successful career. Jones showed promise as a potential QB4 but suffered an unfortunate injury while attempting a fourth down conversion. This left Jones in concussion protocol. DJ Chark's expected roster spot, especially after Darnell Mooney's injury, was compromised due to the strong performance of other players during training camp and preseason. Both players face uncertain futures as the roster moves continue ahead of the preseason finale.
Jones, meanwhile, had his strong moments as a passer and runner as the clear-cut potential QB4 in preseason, and that might have been enough for him to latch on to a practice squad spot if the Falcons wanted insurance for a potential Kirk Cousins trade.
Chark has been productive enough throughout his career that I thought he'd be in the running for a roster spot after Darnell Mooney's injury, but it just didn't happen for him.
After he was injured trying to convert a fourth down with his legs late in the game against the Titans, he had to exit, and was put in the concussion protocol.
With Chris Blair, Dylan Drummond, Nick Nash, Casey Washington, and David Sills all impressing in training camp and with Blair, Drummond, and Nash having big moments in preseason while Washington and Sills seem lined up for roster spots, Chark was left to play late and never really caught on.
