What happened: Siemian worked off to the side during OTAs and sat out team periods at mandatory minicamp. The move came as Atlanta opened full-team training camp practice Wednesday.

Why it matters: Atlanta loses an experienced quarterback option before the 2026 preseason. The transaction creates an opening in the training camp quarterback room.

By the numbers: Siemian entered camp with 11 NFL seasons and more than 30 career starts.

What to watch: Atlanta's next roster move will show how it plans to fill the open camp spot.
