Falcons cut 13 players as they pare down to 53 man roster

The Atlanta Falcons have begun their roster cuts ahead of the 53-man deadline, announcing a mix of familiar names without major surprises in the initial wave.

Notably, the release of QB John Paddock solidifies Taylor Heinicke as the third quarterback, highlighting a shift in depth chart strategy following preseason performance.

Players like WR Josh Ali and S Lukas Denis were favorites of the previous coaching staff but failed to secure a spot with the current roster.

Despite the first wave of cuts, no defensive linemen were included, indicating ongoing uncertainty across the roster as the team continues its evaluation process.
