The Falcons released Meyer from their practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Meyer was signed onto the team's practice squad with kicker Matt Bryant dealing with a leg injury. With Bryant healthy, Meyer became expendable, and they used the open roster spot created by his release to re-sign quarterback Garrett Grayson.

The Falcons signed Meyer to their practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Meyer's addition to the practice comes with the news that the Falcons' kicker, Matt Bryant, will be held out of practice Wednesday due to a leg injury, according to William McFadden of the team's official site reports. The Falcons will likely wait and see how Bryant progresses the next two days before determining if he'll be able to kick Sunday against the Cowboys. If the veteran is ruled out for the contest, Meyer would likely be added to the 53-man roster at some point during the weekend and handle kicking duties for the team in Week 10.

Meyer was released by the Falcons on Friday, The Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meyer was always a distant longshot to make survive final cuts while competing against the likes of veteran Matt Bryant. He fared well in limited action during the preseason, though, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him resurface elsewhere soon.

Meyer connected with a 28-yard attempt in the third preseason game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Meyer has hit all three of his field goal attempts during the preseason, so while he's doing all he can to unseat Matt Bryant for the right to kick for the Falcons this season, the fact that the team has yet to let him attempt an extra point suggests that the veteran should hang on to the starting job. Bryant should be a top kicking option if he hangs onto the job, but it's not out of the realm of possibilities that Meyer unseats him, so keep an eye on this position battle as cut day approaches.
