The Atlanta Falcons missed the opportunity to add edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue, who was claimed off waivers by the New England Patriots. This move followed the Ravens' attempt to re-sign him after placing him on waivers.

Despite the Falcons' need for pass-rushing help, they were not in a favorable position on the waiver wire due to their record. Ngakoue, known for his pass-rushing ability, would have been a valuable addition, but the Falcons will now have to rely on their current roster to improve their performance.
