What happened: Stefanski said the staff has “some really good, tough decisions to make” as cutdown weekend begins. Coaches now have their final evaluations from the exhibition schedule.
Why it matters: The choices will set Atlanta’s Week 1 depth chart. Released players become available to the rest of the league, while eligible cuts could return on the practice squad.
By the numbers: Atlanta closed the preseason with a 17-12 win; the regular-season roster limit is 53.
What to watch: Watch for Atlanta’s cutdown transactions Sunday and a decision on the starting quarterback before Week 1.
