What happened: Atlanta swapped its practice-squad linebacker spot, adding TJ Quinn and moving on from Bralen Trice. Trice, a 2024 third-round pick at No. 74 out of Washington, was elevated Sept. 12 and Oct. 10 before joining the active roster Oct. 17.

Why it matters: The move continues a stretch of linebacker shuffling in Atlanta during the 2026 regular season. Practice-squad churn determines game-day elevation options and special-teams depth. Quinn now gets a window to establish a role at a position Atlanta has rotated heavily.

By the numbers: 74 overall, Washington; practice-squad elevations Sept. 12 and Oct. 10; moved to active roster Oct. 17.

What to watch: Quinn's practice participation this week will show where he fits in the linebacker rotation. Atlanta's next elevation decisions will clarify game-day depth.
