FLOWERY BRANCH -- Offensive tackle Ryan Swoboda was released by the Falcons on Thursday. Defensive end/outside linebacker Kehinde (Kenny) Oginni was signed and designated as the team’s international player for the 2024 season.
Swoboda, 6-foot-9 and 315 pounds, was signed to a reserve/futures contract on Jan. 10.
Oginni, 25, a native of Nigeria who’s 6-foot-7 and 225 pounds, will not count against the Falcons 90-man offseason roster limit and will be eligible to fill a 17th practice squad roster spot following training camp.
Former Falcons defensive end Osi Umenyiora held a camp in Nigeria as part of the International Player Pathway Program in 2021. Oginni attended the camp and was one of three players selected to train in London for six months.
He was signed by the Chiefs after participating in a pro day at Arizona State in 2022. He was waived by the Chiefs in Aug. 2022.
