Atlanta Falcons release Darren Hall ahead of season opener against Pittsburgh Steelers
Summary

The Atlanta Falcons released cornerback Darren Hall from the reserve/injured list on September 9, 2026. This move clears a 53-man roster spot immediately before the team's season-opening game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hall, a 2021 fourth-round draft pick, recorded 94 tackles and one sack over 48 career games but saw limited playing time last season. Alongside the release of Hall, the organization parted ways with running back Cash Jones, linebacker Channing Tindall, and pass rusher Azeez Ojulari. While Cash Jones will remain with the organization on the practice squad, the other moves reflect an effort by the coaching staff to finalize the defensive scheme. The team is now focused solely on their upcoming matchup with the Steelers.
