Falcons seventh-round pick Devin Fuller made it through the cut to 75 players, but the wide receiver won’t be on Atlanta’s 53-man roster this season.
The Falcons placed Fuller on injured reserve Wednesday, ending his first NFL season before the official start of his first NFL season. Fuller injured his shoulder against the Dolphins last week.
Fuller had had five catches for 66 yards and a touchdown in his three preseason appearances and also saw time as a returner on both punts and kickoffs. J.D. McKissic looked like the choice on kickoff returns even before Fuller’s injury thanks to a 101-yard return for a touchdown against the Redskins.
The Falcons brought fullback Will Ratelle back to the roster to fill Fuller’s spot, although his chances of making it past Saturday don’t look good after he was released earlier this week.
