The team has yet to officially announce the restructure. According to Over The Cap‘s projections, the Falcons currently have just over $600,000. That number would bump up closer to $8 million with Matthews’ restructured deal.

Check out the team’s updated 53-man roster, practice squad and depth chart heading into Sunday’s game in London.
