Projecting the Falcons' Week 1 starting lineups with PFF grades
The Atlanta Falcons must trim their roster from 90 to 53 players by Tuesday's cut deadline, but we're not expecting many big surprises. There are a few players on the bubble with a shot to make the team and most helped themselves in Friday's preseason finale.
Once the roster is settled, the Falcons can shift focus to their Week 1 matchup against Pittsburgh Steelers to open the 2024 NFL season. Former head coach Arthur Smith and running back Cordarrelle Patterson are set to return to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on September 8.
