Undrafted free agent Nick Nash seeks Falcons roster spot in preseason game against Lions.

Nick Nash, an undrafted free agent, could secure a spot on the Atlanta Falcons' 53-man roster or practice squad with a strong performance in their preseason game against the Detroit Lions. Meanwhile, starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and backup Kirk Cousins will not play in the game but received significant game-like reps in a full-team scrimmage. The Falcons will also evaluate their top rookies, including first-round picks Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr., in the preseason opener.
