Atlanta Falcons release cornerback Cobee Bryant during roster trim

The Atlanta Falcons released cornerback Cobee Bryant as the team narrowed its roster to 53 players ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Bryant, an undrafted free agent, now enters the waiver wire process where he may be claimed by another franchise or signed to the Atlanta practice squad if he clears waivers. The move drew significant reaction from Baltimore Ravens supporters on social media, who referenced a social media post Bryant made last year targeting Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bryant previously shared an image comparing the two-time MVP to James Harden following postseason losses. Despite the criticism from fans, the cornerback remains an option for teams seeking defensive depth after recording 10 tackles during the 2025 season. Jackson continues preparations for the upcoming season under new head coach Jesse Minter.
