Falcons claim Yasir Abdullah, Jared Ivey and Cameron Williams off waivers

The Atlanta Falcons added three players to their roster via the NFL waiver system following league-wide cuts to 53-man rosters. The team claimed linebackers Yasir Abdullah and Jared Ivey along with offensive tackle Cameron Williams. Abdullah, who was previously with the Jacksonville Jaguars, holds the most professional experience of the trio with 29 career games and three starts, primarily contributing on special teams. Ivey joins the roster after his release from the Seattle Seahawks, while Williams arrives from the Philadelphia Eagles. Ivey has appeared in two career games, and Williams has recorded one appearance. These transactions follow the recent roster reduction deadline across the league.
