Falcons elevate Zach Harrison for Week 2 matchup against Panthers

The Atlanta Falcons have elevated defensive lineman Zach Harrison from the practice squad ahead of their Week 2 game against the Carolina Panthers. Harrison, a former third-round pick from Ohio State, was a surprising cut at roster deadline but has significant performance history, including 8.5 sacks over three seasons. The Panthers are also elevating linebacker Jeremiah Moon and safety Isaiah Simmons for the matchup. The Falcons will rely on third-string quarterback Cooper Rush, as starters Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa are sidelined due to injuries.
