Cooper

Atlanta waived OL Hunter Atkinson in a corresponding move. Cooper was the third safety to be placed on the Falcons’ reserve/COVID-19 list.

Cooper is the third safety to be placed on Atlanta’s COVID-19 list, according to ESPN’s Vaughn McClure. S Jaylinn Hawkins has been removed from the list, while S Jamal Carter remains in quarantine.

Undrafted out of Stony Brook, the 25-year-old went to training camp with the Colts last summer but was later waived with an injury settlement after suffering a concussion. He also spent time on the Chiefs’ practice squad. Cooper’s primary position is safety but he can play nickel corner in a pinch.
