The Falcons waived offensive lineman Austin Pasztor Thursday to make room for newly acquired defensive end Bruce Irvin.

Pasztor, who was with the team in 2017, was signed on Oct. 24 after Brandon Fusco suffered a broken ankle.

Pasztor was signed by the Falcons during training camp in 2017. He saw action in seven games last season.

Pasztor, who played in college at Virginia, originally signed with the Vikings in 2012. He’s also played with the Jaguars and Browns.

Pasztor, 27, is listed at 6-foot-7 and 305 pounds and has played in 63 NFL games, including 43 starts. He’s played both guard and tackle, but was inactive for last Sunday’s game against the Redskins.
