LOOK: Falcons Reveal Initial 53-Man Roster After Cuts

Here's the first edition of this year's Atlanta Falcons.

The Atlanta Falcons will enter this season with heightened expectations for the first time in several years - and now, the roster with which they'll try to meet those expectations is official ... at least for now.

Roster cuts around the league were due by 4 p.m. EST Tuesday, and the Falcons were tasked with going from 86 players down to 53 after releasing four over the weekend.

There's still over a week and a half until the Falcons kick off the regular season against the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 10 inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and it's possible - if not probable - that the roster will see its fair share of changes between now and then.
