FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. \u2014 The Atlanta Falcons released defensive back Kevin King and placed three players on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list, the organization announced Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Defensive lineman LaCale London, inside linebacker Malik Verdon and cornerback Cobee Bryant on the NFI list. They’ll still count toward the Falcons’ 90-man roster count during training camp.<\/p>\n

The Falcons held their first open practice earlier Thursday. None of these players were present.<\/p>\n

King is a veteran who the Falcons first signed last offseason and re-signed this offseason. He was a key reserve on the defense and a regular fixture on special teams in 2024. Last season, King played in all but two games, starting one, and made 10 tackles, broke up two passes and recovered a fumble.<\/p>\n

London spent last season on the Falcons’ practice squad and signed a future\/reserve contract at season’s end. He was last active for Atlanta in 2023, playing in seven games and making 13 tackles.<\/p>\n

Verdon and Bryant were signed as undrafted free agents this year, so they have yet to see an NFL field.<\/p>\n

In addition to these roster moves, Atlanta placed inside linebacker Troy Andersen<\/a> on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list on Thursday. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris announced that move prior to practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. \u2014 The Atlanta Falcons released defensive back Kevin King and placed three players on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[19684,28778,28775,28776,28777,3,349,99,28780,14594,28779,6182],"class_list":{"0":"post-34861","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-2025-training-camp","9":"tag-cobee-bryant","10":"tag-kevin-king","11":"tag-lacale-london","12":"tag-malik-verdon","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-terrin-waack","17":"tag-training-camp","18":"tag-transacations","19":"tag-transactions"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
