Falcons execute flurry of roster moves for Week 1 vs. Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 1 opponents, the Atlanta Falcons, executed a flurry of roster moves before Sunday's matchup.
The Atlanta Falcons have made several roster changes ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. On Saturday, the team elevated two players from their practice squad to the active roster. Outside linebacker Bralen Trice and tight end Nick Muse were both elevated. Trice, a third-round pick from the 2024 NFL Draft, has dealt with knee injuries in his first two seasons with the Falcons.
He was waived on August 30, 2026, but was quickly re-signed to the practice squad. Muse, who previously played for multiple teams including the Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals, was released earlier this summer but was called back to Atlanta via the practice squad. The Falcons also placed offensive tackle Cameron Williams on injured reserve due to an ankle injury.
Trice, who has appeared in limited action due to injuries, could see significant playing time against a Steelers defense missing starting edge rushers, including Za Darius Smith who is battling a shoulder injury.
