The Atlanta Falcons are just three days away from making their 2026 NFL season preseason debut against the Denver Broncos. While we don't know how many of the team's starters will play in Friday's opener, the players have been putting in some serious work at practice.
In today's Falcons Wire Recap, Tua Tagovailoa heats up, Michael Penix Jr. draws praise from quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt, Atlanta signs two more players to the roster and Avieon Terrell is held out of practice due to injury.
The Falcons claimed former Alabama guard Jaeden Roberts off of waivers from the Eagles on Tuesday afternoon. Roberts, an undrafted free agent, signed with Philadelphia following the 2026 NFL Draft but was waived on Monday. Atlanta could use the extra depth up front after waiving former seventh-round pick Jack Nelson earlier this week.
"Roberts is a powerful guard-only prospect with elite body composition but technique that falls below the NFL mark," NFL.com's Lance Zierlein wrote in Roberts' pre-draft scouting report. "He has legendary weight-room strength that will flash on tape, but he struggles to play under control and cleanly fit blocks."
The Falcons signed veteran tight end Nick Muse to their 90-man roster on Tuesday morning. The team also placed undrafted free agent wide receiver Le'Meke Brockington and linebacker Malik Verdon on the waived/injured list in corresponding moves.
