Atlanta Falcons sign three players to practice squad as quarterback search continues
Summary

The Atlanta Falcons finalized their 16-man practice squad on Wednesday by signing defensive lineman Zach Harrison, edge rusher Khalid Kareem, and defensive back Jammie Robinson. The team moved to add these players following the release of cornerback Cobee Bryant and defensive end Cameron Sample. General manager Ian Cunningham addressed the team's ongoing quarterback competition, stating that the staff has not yet named a starter for the upcoming season. While Cunningham did not provide a specific timeline for the decision, he praised the recovery efforts of Michael Penix Jr. following his ACL surgery. Meanwhile, league peers voted running back Bijan Robinson as the No. 3 player in the NFL on the annual top 100 list. Anonymous league executives continue to speculate on the team's depth, with some suggesting rookie Jack Strand could potentially compete for the starting quarterback role.
