Jesse Matthews: Let go by Atlanta
The Falcons waived Matthews on Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Matthews entered training camp battling for a depth spot at wide receiver but didn't produce enough on offense across three preseason games, finishing with three catches (on seven targets) for 20 yards. The San Diego State product will be on the lookout for a team in need of wide receiver depth, but he hasn't seen regular-season action since joining the league in May of 2023, when he signed with the Texans as an undrafted free agent.

Falcons' Jesse Matthews: Fails to haul in lone target
Matthews failed to catch his lone target during Friday's 17-10 preseason loss to the Lions. He also returned one kickoff for 23 yards.
Despite playing 23 offensive snaps, the second-most among wideouts behind Dylan Drummond, Matthews was a nonfactor on offense. The undrafted free agent out of San Diego State missed the entire 2023 campaign due to an ACL tear and spent last season on the Falcons' practice squad. Despite the familiarity with the organization, it's unlikely Matthews lands a spot on the initial 53-man roster.

The Texans have placed Matthews on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
