Smith spent some time on the team’s practice squad before earning a roster spot after starting linebacker Troy Anderson suffered a season-ending injury.
In other Falcons news, the team was docked a 2025 fifth-round pick on a Thursday for violating the NFL’s tampering policy during free agency. Despite tampering with three free agents, including QB Kirk Cousins, the punishment was significantly less than expected.
