The Atlanta Falcons may be concerned about the future of their pass rush, as it seems more and more likely that the team will be sans second year edges Jalon Walker – who will miss the entire season after tearing his ACL back on Aug. 4 – and James Pearce Jr., who is likely set to face a multi-game suspension for a domestic violence incident occurring this past March.
Although Atlanta have not yet made moves to add to their increasingly thing outside linebacking corps, they have made an addition on the offensive line, signing former Philadelphia Eagles guard Jaeden Roberts off the waiver wire after he was released on Monday, per Mike Garafolo.

"The Falcons claimed OL Jaeden Roberts off waivers from the Eagles." Garafalo wrote on X.

Roberts was originally signed by the Eagles after going unselected in the 2026 NFL Draft. The former Alabama man, who stayed with the university for the entirety of his five-year tenure in college, played in 37 games, starting 25.
After having locked down the right guard spot in 2024, a combination of injury and the emergence of freshman Michael Carroll saw the 23-year old be limited to just four starts last season, despite playing in 10 games.
All undrafted rookies are long shots to make the final roster in year one; to the extent that for many UDFAs landing on the same team's practice squad come September is often regarded as a win.
Roberts will compete for a backup spot on the back of the roster with rookie seventh rounder Ethan Onianwa, Andrew Stueber, Kyle Hinton, Layden Robinson and fellow undrafted guard Kam Dewberry.
