In addition to the 18 players released, the Falcons waived-injured OG Michael Moore, who re-injured his shoulder in the final preseason game against the Dolphins, and placed LB Jordan Beck (foot) and OG Steve Herndon (neck) on the Injured-Reserve list. The promising rookie Beck suffered a lisfranc foot injury while returning an interception in the waning moments of the preseason win at Jacksonville.
The Falcons may establish up to an eight-player practice squad, consisting of rookie or first-year players, starting on Sunday, September 4 at 12:00 (noon). DE Klaus Alinen will be the ninth member on the Falcons practice squad as part of the NFL International Development Practice Squad program.
