Atlanta Falcons release linebacker Azeez Ojulari after roster deadline

The Atlanta Falcons released linebacker Azeez Ojulari on August 30, 2026, as the organization finalized its initial 53-man roster. Ojulari, a former second-round pick who signed with the team in March, was among several players cut alongside Tyler Goodson, Chris Williams, and Josh Woods. The move leaves the Falcons with three outside linebackers on the active roster. Ojulari previously played for the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles, recording 22 sacks and 113 tackles over 49 career games. The 26-year-old was a standout at the University of Georgia before entering the NFL. The team has not announced additional roster moves following these departures.
