Defensive lineman Ra’Shede Hageman, who finished his two-game suspension, was waived/injured by the Falcons on Monday.

Hageman, 29, was trying to make a comeback after being out of the NFL for two seasons. He was on the reserve/suspended list after joining the Falcons in training camp.

Hageman was drafted by the Falcons in the second round of the 2014 draft. He spent three seasons with the Falcons before being cut after a domestic violence case.
