Falcons cut DEs Jared Ivey, Drake Jackson

The Falcons parted ways with a pair of defensive ends on Monday. They announced that they have waived Jared Ivey and released Drake Jackson. They did not fill either roster spot, but could have defensive ends James Pearce and Yasir Abdullah back this week. Pearce served an eight-game suspension to open the season while Abdullah has been on the injured reserve list. Ivey was claimed off of waivers from the Seahawks ahead of the season. He had eight tackles and a sack in seven appearances. Jackson signed to the practice squad after being released from the Commanders' injured reserve list in September. He signed to the active roster last month and played in two games for the Falcons.
