- Falcons cut former 3rd-round pick to make room for edge rusher
The Atlanta Falcons are signing edge rusher Charles Snowden off of the Washington Commanders' practice squad, but with the roster at 53 players, somebody needs to be released to make room. According to NFL insider Josh Kendall , the Falcons are releasing edge rusher Bralen Trice in a corresponding move.
"Trice, Atlanta's third-round pick in 2024 and missed his first two pro seasons due to torn ACLs, played 21 snaps against the Bears on Sunday," reported Kendall.

The former Washington standout suffered a severe knee injury during the 2024 preseason. He attempted to return the following year but missed the entire season due to a setback in his recovery.
Apparently, the Falcons prefer Snowden's upside. The 28-year-old has 67 career tackles (35 solo), 4.5 sacks, six passes defended and 11 QB hits in 33 games over three NFL seasons. Snowden should provide some rotational value for the Falcons while they wait for James Pearce Jr.'s return.
As for Trice, we wouldn't be surprised to see him back on the practice squad since Atlanta still has one spot remaining. However, Trice has already been elevated three times this season, so he may prefer to look elsewhere for his next NFL gig.
Check out the Falcons' updated 53-man roster and practice squad below.
