Falcons’ roster-bubble players to watch in preseason game against Ravens

New York Times  

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons play their second preseason game Saturday in Baltimore against the Ravens. Running back Avery Williams The season-ending injury to wide receiver Rondale Moore likely cemented Williams’ spot on the roster, but the Falcons have a logjam at running back. Blair is competing against the likes of veteran James Washington, who has played only two games since 2021 and Jesse Matthews, who hasn’t appeared in an NFL game but has shown some flashes since being added to the training camp roster. GO DEEPER Falcons focused on how Matthew Judon can help pass rush, not contract talks Tight end Austin Stogner An undrafted free agent who played at South Carolina and Oklahoma, Stogner has a chance to make the roster because Atlanta would benefit from an athletic tight end option behind Kyle Pitts on game days. Offensive tackle Andrew Stueber A seventh-round pick by the Patriots in 2022, Stueber hasn’t appeared in a regular-season NFL game, but he played every snap at tackle in the preseason game against the Dolphins, and he worked as the starting right tackle at the end of Wednesday’s practice while Kaleb McGary got a rest.
