The Atlanta Falcons have signed wide receiver Vinny Anthony to their 16-man practice squad, according to a report form NFL insider Mike Garfaolo. Anthony, an undrafted free agent who signed with the Falcons after the 2026 NFL Draft, was one of our surprise cuts.
The former Wisconsin Badger stood out during training camp and the preseason due to his kick return ability. Anthony returned five kicks for a total of 170 yards, including a 52-yard return against the Miami Dolphins on Friday night. He added seven catches for 64 yards over three preseason games.

Williams, linebacker Yasir Abdullah and LB Jared Ivey.
Thus far, Anthony is the only reported signing. However, we expect a few others, including running back Tyler Goodson. Check out the full list below.
