Atlanta Falcons cut defensive end Bralen Trice before regular-season debut

The Atlanta Falcons released defensive end Bralen Trice on Sunday following a two-year tenure marked by injury. Selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the former Washington standout never appeared in a regular-season game for the team. Trice suffered an ACL injury during his initial preseason appearance as a rookie and remained sidelined for the entire year. He subsequently aggravated the same knee injury during the 2025 season, resulting in another year of inactivity. While the organization initially viewed the two-time All-Pac-12 selection as a player with future potential, his failure to recover from recurring knee issues led to his departure. Trice arrived in Atlanta with significant college credentials, including two bowl game MVP honors, but his inability to return to the field ultimately ended his time with the club.
