Waived by Falcons
Atkins was waived by the Falcons on Saturday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
ANALYSIS
Atkins played 25 percent of Atlanta's defensive snaps in Friday's preseason opener and logged a tackle. The 27-year-old appeared in 14 games for the Lions in 2018 and 2019 before he opted out last year, but he'll now seek out another chance to compete for a 53-man roster spot ahead of the 2021 campaign.
