The Atlanta Falcons have waived defensive end Drake Jackson and linebacker Jared Ivey ahead of their Week 9 matchup, according to a team announcement Tuesday. The roster moves reduce Atlanta's active roster as they prepare for their upcoming game.

Jackson, a former third-round pick, and Ivey, an undrafted free agent, were both competing for depth roles on the defensive side of the ball. The Falcons did not immediately announce corresponding roster additions.
