The Falcons have elected not to sign safety Eric Reid or go after Earl Thomas in a trade.
In the depth chart released by the team Tuesday for Sunday’s game against the Bengals, the Falcons list Damontae Kazee and Jordan Richards as their starting safeties.
Sharrod Neasman, who played with the Falcons in 2016 and played in Super Bowl LI, is listed as the backup to Richards at strong safety.
