The Falcons waived Nelson (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Nelson was slated to miss the entire 2026 season after he reverted to the Falcons' injured reserve. However, the settlement allows the 2025 seventh-rounder to sign and play with a team this season once he's fully healthy. Nelson appeared in 10 regular-season games with the Falcons during his rookie year, though he mostly played on special teams and saw just four snaps on offense.

Falcons' Jack Nelson: Bound for Atlanta
The Falcons selected Nelson in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 218th overall.
Nelson started four seasons at Wisconsin, and while he focused on left tackle, he also has experience at right guard. He has the size (6-foot-7, 314 pounds) to make the cut as an offensive tackle in the NFL, and his versatility should make him a valuable depth lineman, even if it takes time before he vies for a starting role.
