The Atlanta Falcons released outside linebacker Ade Ogundeji on Thursday.

Ogundeji, 25, recorded 75 tackles, three sacks and one fumble recovery in 32 career games (27 starts) in his first two seasons with the Falcons. He was selected by Atlanta in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame.

Ogundeji injured his foot during training camp last August, landed on injured reserve and sat out the 2023 season.
