The Atlanta Falcons bolster their EDGE unit by signing 28‑year‑old defensive end Charles Snowden off the Washington Commanders' practice squad and releasing Bralen Trice. Snowden, a 6’6”, 250‑lb former Raiders player, posted 4.5 sacks in 31 games (2024‑25) and is praised for reliable tackling and coverage versatility. With injuries to Za’Darius Smith, Yasir Abdullah and the pending return of James Pearce Jr., the move upgrades their rush rotation ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the 49ers. Trice is expected to clear a spot on the 53‑man roster and may return to Atlanta’s practice squad.

The Falcons fall to the Chicago Bears for the second straight week, managing just seven points before a late, unsuccessful comeback. While quarterback Michael Penix Jr. faces criticism—being pressured on 46% of dropbacks and hit five times, including a game‑ending strip‑sack—the article argues the offensive line is equally to blame. Right tackle Jawaan Taylor remains a stopgap, and aging left tackle Jake Matthews, a 2014 first‑round pick now 34, has struggled with injuries and consistency. With pass protection deteriorating, the Falcons must upgrade their line in the offseason to give Penix a cleaner pocket and revive their offense.
Caleb Williams made Bears history against the Falcons, completing 83.3% of his passes and setting a remarkable NFL accuracy record.
The Atlanta Falcons announced they have officially released QB Cooper Rush. This move comes in correspondence with the Falcons officially signing QB Andy Dalton.

The Falcons may get cornerback A.J. Terrell back for Sunday’s clash with the 49ers after a groin injury sidelined him since Week 2. Coach Kevin Stefanski hints the IR window is opening, though two other linebackers remain doubtful after injuries against the Bears. Terrell’s return is crucial, as the defense struggled in a loss to the Bears where Caleb Williams racked up 305 yards and a TD. With MVP‑candidate Brock Purdy leading the 49ers and future matchups against Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes looming, Atlanta’s playoff hopes hinge on getting its top cornerback onto the field.
The Falcons lose both starting linebackers in a 26‑20 defeat to the Bears on Oct. 18. Divine Deablo exits with an arm injury, while Kendal Daniels is carted off after a frightening neck injury but later returns to the locker room after hospital checks.

Recovery timelines remain unclear, leaving Atlanta scrambling for defensive answers.
After a 24-17 loss to the Bears, the Falcons trade veteran backup Cooper Rush for former Pro Bowler Andy Dalton. The move ends Rush's brief, troubled stint—he struggled to throw beyond the 25‑yard line in Weeks 1 and 2 after injuries to Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa. Dalton, 39, joins Atlanta despite being cut by the Eagles after a red‑zone interception, and heads into his first start with the team.
