The Falcons waived Ali on Sunday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ali spent most of 2023 on the Falcons' injured reserve due to an ankle injury. He was able to return for training camp in late July, and while he suited up for all three games, he had just one catch for 19 yards. Ali will explore his next opportunities should he clear waivers.

Ali (ankle) participated in drills at the Falcons' training camp Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Ali missed the entire 2023 season due to an ankle injury, but he appears to be fully healthy. He was able to make the Falcons' 53-man roster last year, and he'll look to do so again as a depth wide receiver.

Ali (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ali suffered the injury toward the end of September and didn't make the trip to London with the team for Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. The 24-year-old will now miss at least the next four weeks and will be eligible to return Week 9 against the Vikings.

Ali (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Jaguars, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was already expected after it was reported Ali wouldn't travel with the team to London to face Jacksonville. Ali has yet to play in a game this season after being a healthy scratch each of the first three contests.

Ali (ankle) will not travel with the Falcons to London for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Jaguars, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Ali (ankle) was a non-participant during practice Thursday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ali logged a limited practice Wednesday, but he seems to have taken a step back as the week moves closer to Sunday's game against the Jaguars. The Kentucky product has been a healthy scratch for all three contests this season, so even if he recovers in time for the game, it's not a certainty he'd suit up.

Ali (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A deep reserve in Atlanta's wideout corps, Ali has been inactive for all three games this season. He has played 14 offensive snaps across two career appearances, failing to catch his only target.

Ali (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Ali (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ali, along with tight end John FitzPatrick (coach's decision) and running back Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh), are the skill players ruled out for Sunday's season opener. Atlanta will roll out a wide receiver corps of Drake London, Mack Hollins, Scotty Miller and KhaDarel Hodge.

The Falcons signed Ali to a reserve/future contract Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Ali was elevated ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Buccaneers and played seven offensive snaps with zero catches on one target. The 6-foot wideout then reverted to the team's practice squad before inking this new deal with the team heading into the offseason, per the NFL's transaction log. Ali ended his season-long stint on the Falcons' practice squad with back-to-back elevations over the final two weeks of the regular season, and he'll now compete for a spot on the active roster this offseason.
