The #Falcons have claimed LB Yasir Abdullah, LB Jared Ivey and OT Cameron Williams off waivers. Via @marcraimondi on X

What happened: Atlanta added linebackers Yasir Abdullah and Jared Ivey plus offensive tackle Cameron Williams after leaguewide roster reductions. Abdullah arrived from Jacksonville, Ivey from Seattle and Williams from Philadelphia.

Why it matters: The moves add depth at linebacker and offensive tackle before the 2026 season. Each player now joins Atlanta’s roster through the waiver process.

By the numbers: Abdullah has appeared in 29 career games with three starts, including 10 games for Jacksonville last season. Ivey has played two career games, while Williams has appeared in one.

What to watch: Atlanta’s corresponding roster moves are expected to clarify how the three additions fit into the opening roster.
