The Falcons took their roster to 52 Saturday, leaving a space open for future additions.
Notable among their cuts was tight end Tony Moeaki, and they also reached an injury settlement with running back Antone Smith.
Smith suffered a hamstring injury late in the preseason, but had been replaced by a group including Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman as the Falcons remade their backfield.
They also placed guard Jon Asamoah, fullback Collin Mooney, and cornerback Travis Howard on injured reserve, and waived linebacker Derek Akunne, offensive lineman Pierce Burton, cornerback Akeem King, offensive lineman Eric Lefeld, linebacker Stansly Maponga, nose tackle Joey Mbu, wide receiver Carlton Mitchell, and linebacker Tyler Starr.
Offensive lineman Adam Replogle, running back Jerome Smith, and tight end D.J. Tialavea were waived-injured.
