Falcons hold workouts for Drake Jackson, Gus Hartwig, Dwight McGlothern
Summary

The Atlanta Falcons conducted workouts for linebacker Drake Jackson, center Gus Hartwig, and cornerback Dwight McGlothern on September 15, 2026. Jackson, who was a second-round pick for the 49ers, has had two seasons of experience before missing 2024 due to injury. Hartwig has not appeared in an NFL game, while McGlothern has played sparingly since signing with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent. The Falcons currently have one open roster spot and are expected to create another by placing defensive tackle Da'Shawn Hand on injured reserve. Further roster news will be provided after head coach Kevin Stefanski's update on Wednesday morning.
