What happened: Atlanta waived seven players Sunday: WR Keelan Marion, DT Devonnsha Maxwell, LB Daveren Rayner, G Jaeden Roberts, TE Joshua Simon, DB Keidron Smith and OL Andrew Stueber. The team also released DT Eric Johnson, LB Channing Tindall and OL Brandon Walton, and placed a DB on injured reserve.

Why it matters: The moves come as Atlanta finalizes its roster for the season. Maxwell had joined the team in June after a standout UFL season, one of several offseason additions now cut loose before the roster deadline.

What to watch: Atlanta's finalized roster is expected to follow these cuts, with practice-squad signings likely in the coming days.
