Falcons activate S Chris Cooper, waive OL Hunter Atkinson

The Atlanta Falcons removed safety Chris Cooper from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday while waiving undrafted free agent OT Hunter Atkinson, as reported by ESPN’s Vaughn McClure.

Cooper joined the COVID reserve on Sunday and after two days, he returns to the team. Atlanta still has two players, DB Jamal Carter ad FB Keith Smith, on the league’s virus designation.

Atkinson, a four-year starter at left tackle for Georgia State, was a long-shot to make the Falcons’ roster due to the team’s depth at offensive tackle.
