The Atlanta Falcons announced a handful of roster moves following Thursday's practice, releasing defensive back Kevin King and placing defensive lineman LaCale London , cornerback Cobee Bryant and linebacker Malik Verdon on the non-football injury list.
King, 30, appeared in 15 games for the Falcons last season. The former second-round pick spent his first five seasons with the Green Bay Packers before sitting out the 2022 season. King suffered a torn Achilles in 2023, causing him to miss the entire season.

Over his six NFL seasons, King has recorded seven interceptions and broken up 32 passes. The Falcons also placed linebacker Troy Andersen on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list prior to Thursday's practice.
Verdon and Bryant both signed with Atlanta as undrafted free agents. Bryant was among the most sought after UDFAs following the 2025 NFL draft. The former Kansas cornerback was one of two undrafted free agents to make the roster in our latest 53-man roster projection .
The team kicked off training camp Thursday morning, holding the first of 11 scheduled open practices. Tight end Kyle Pitts returned after sitting out of minicamp due to a foot injury.
