FLOWERY BRANCH — At the completion of the mandatory minicamp last month, Falcons coach Arthur Smith was asked if the roster would look different by the start of training camp.

“Probably, there’s some guys trying out,” Smith said in mid-June. “We could possibly add some of those guys. Things happen over the summer. Their phones are always on, so it’s not like we sign them, put them on scholarship and there it is.”

What that means is that when the front office believes it has a chance to improve the roster, it will make a move.

Since the players broke for the offseason, the Falcons added center Jonotthan Harrison and defensive lineman Jalen Dalton on June 11. Both were tryout players. They snapped up veteran punter Bradley Pinion on June 25 and signed nose tackle Eddie Goldman on Wednesday.

The Falcons released running back Jeremy McNichols, punter Dom Maggio and safety Brad Hawkins.

The Falcons’ rookies are scheduled to report for training camp July 19, and the veterans will report July 26.

The Falcons will have 13 practices open to the public in training camp.
