The Atlanta Falcons lost their first preseason game of the year on Friday, and on Saturday, four players lost their jobs.
Defensive tackle John Atkins, cornerback Marcus Murphy and offensive tackle William Sweet were waived, while wide receiver J’Mon Moore was waived/injured — meaning he would land on the Falcons’ injured reserve list if he clears waivers.

The Falcons have until August 31 to get their roster down to 53 players, but the first round of cuts, which requires teams to get down to 85 players, is Tuesday, August 17.
After that, the team must drop to 80 players by August 24 at 4:00 p.m. ET.
