Atlanta Falcons waive Zach Harrison and two other roster players

The Atlanta Falcons waived defensive end Zach Harrison from the 53-man roster on August 31, 2026. Harrison, a former third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, recorded 81 tackles and 8.5 sacks over three seasons with the team. The Falcons also released defensive backs Natrone Brooks and Jammie Robinson to clear space on the active roster. These moves facilitate the addition of linebacker Yasir Abdullah, linebacker Jared Ivey, and offensive tackle Cameron Williams, who were claimed off waivers from the Jaguars, Seahawks, and Eagles, respectively. The team also finalized its 15-player practice squad as part of the roster transition. The Falcons maintain their current 53-man roster as they prepare for the upcoming regular season.
