McFadden (undisclosed) agreed to an injury settlement with the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

McFadden will be free to sign with another team once he's healthy. However, there won't be many suitors for the sixth-year pro who hasn't played an NFL snap since 2016.

McFadden signed a one-year extension with the Falcons on Tuesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McFadden did not appear in a game last season for the Falcons after bouncing around the league his first four seasons. He'll provide the Falcons with secondary depth.

The Falcons signed McFadden to a contract Monday, Kelsey Conway of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McFadden, now recovered from an August hamstring injury, was signed off the Cowboys' practice squad. The 2013 third-rounder appeared in nine games for Dallas in 2016 but primarily played on special teams. He'll likely operate in a similar capacity with the Falcons.

McFadden (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

McFadden was competing for a depth role with the Cowboys, but he missed a lot of training camp with this injury. Even when he's healthy, he's unlikely to be the one activation Dallas elects to use, so don't expect to see much of McFadden anytime soon.

McFadden (hamstring) will not practice Tuesday, Brandon George of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mcfadden is looking to sneak onto the 53-man roster as a special-teams player, so it's crucial for him to have a quick recovery. He has played for four teams in his first four seasons, and he recorded only eight tackles in nine games last season.

McFadden has been signed to the Cowboys' active roster, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McFadden fills an empty spot on the Cowboys' roster that has been there since running back Rod Smith. He will provide depth in the Cowboys' secondary.

McFadden was promoted from the 49ers' practice squad to their active roster Saturday, ESPN's Adam Caplan reports. Starting cornerback Tramaine Brock (toe) is listed as questionable to play Sunday, so the signing of McFadden will bolster the 49ers' depth at cornerback in the event Brock is unable to play. McFadden previously appeared in two games earlier this season for San Francisco, collecting a total of six tackles.

The Jets have claimed McFadden on waivers from the Browns, ESPN.com reports. With Dee Milliner iffy for Week 1 and Dimitri Patterson (release) and Dexter McDougle (injury) not available to the team, McFadden (who played in similar defensive system to that of the Jets, while with Cleveland) will give his new coaching staff some valuable cornerback depth.

McFadden has been released by the Browns, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. An early third-round draft pick one year ago, McFadden recorded 13 tackles in 16 games (two starts) during his rookie season. While his draft status ensures that he'll get a look elsewhere, it isn't a good sign that he was released by a team that's dealing with multiple injuries at cornerback.

Browns CB Leon McFadden's roster spot could be in jeopardy. A third-round pick last year, McFadden was active for just nine games as a rookie. He struggled when on the field in 2013 and won't be guaranteed a spot with the addition of Justin Gilbert and fourth-rounder Pierre Desir. McFadden is no higher than the No. 4/5 corner and will need to hold off former Jets castoff Aaron Berry to make the final roster.
