After three weeks of training camp in Flowery Branch, three preseason games (two of which were on the road), and a major glimpse of what to expect from this new regime, it's now time for Atlanta Falcons to finalize their final 53-man roster ahead of the cut deadline tonight at 6:00 p.m. ET.

Following a 17-12 victory in the preseason finale over the Miami Dolphins, the Falcons won't take the field until Sunday, Sept. 13--when they'll head to Acrisure Stadium to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1--and the early afternoon showdown will mark the first real matchup of the Stefanski era.

All 32 teams must whittle down their 90-man rosters to 53 before the roster release deadline, which means there will be plenty of roster moves to keep track of. But don't you worry, we got you covered since we'll over up-to-the-minute coverage for every move the Falcons will make
