Jackson

Montavious Stanley, who the Falcons signed after being released by Dallas, and rookie Trey Lewis took their roster spots.

Robertson followed the Scott Pioli pipeline to Kansas City after being released by the Patriots in March. He lacks to the size to play end and the speed to play linebacker. Jackson played nine games last season but was ill-suited to new 3-4 front. He was also fighting during minicamps.

This is all assuming he passes a physical. Jackson, 25, can play the nose but wouldn’t solve Carolina’s defensive line woes. He has little experience.

Hypolite, an undrafted free agent from Colorado, is another penetrating, undersized type tackle. Jackson (6'0/311) would’ve been more desirable.

Battle’s addition could mean that Jamaal Charles isn’t as healthy as his “probable” listing on the injury report indicates. Charles was running well late in the week, but initial reports called his injury a high ankle sprain. Jackson was the club’s fourth DT and will likely be back later on.

Savage may make it as a return man down the road, but he doesn’t have a future as a running back.

Jackson, an impressive rookie nose tackle who made the team as an undrafted free agent, is a candidate for the practice squad. Dudley is insurance behind starting fullback Justin Griffith.

Activating Jackson from the practice squad suggests that Atlanta is preparing to be without Pro Bowler Rod Coleman (questionable, toe) in Week 7. Jackson is an undrafted rookie nose-tackle type out of Auburn.

Bryant is huge at 6-3/337. He’ll battle Darrell Shropshire and Tommy Jackson to be part of Atlanta’s interior rotation. This could mean the Falcons have taken themselves out of the running for free agent Ian Scott.
