  • Texans' Austin Larkin: Signs with Houston

    Larkin signed a contract with the Texans on Friday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Larkin spent most of the 2019 season on the Falcons' practice squad but was promoted for the final two games. The Falcons ended up cutting Larkin in early August, and now he'll try to wade through a crowded defensive-end corps to secure a roster spot in 2020.

  • Austin Larkin: Let go by Atlanta

    Larkin was waived by the Falcons on Tuesday, William McFadden of the team's official site reports.

    The 25-year-old defensive end was one of three Falcons to be waived Tuesday, as he joined undrafted free agents Rojesterman Farris and Bryson Young in a quest to find new NFL homes. Larkin collected one tackle on a combined 36 defensive and special teams snaps during 2019, but he spent a significant chunk of the year residing on Atlanta's practice squad. Given that the Falcons currently have seven other players vying for consideration at defensive end, Larkin became expendable as Atlanta cut its roster down to 77 players with Tuesday afternoon's wave of transactions.

  • Austin Larkin: Signs with Atlanta's practice squad

    Larkin joined the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    The 24-year-old defensive end was brought back in a corresponding move to Anthony Coyle being waived, a month and a half after Larkin himself was waived from the Falcons' practice squad. Larkin has yet to appear in a regular-season game, but for the time being he provides the organization with another developmental piece along the defensive line.

  • Austin Larkin: Let go by Atlanta

    Larkin was waived from the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    The 24-year-old defensive lineman finished fourth on the team in tackles this preseason, but was not able to scratch the 53-man roster before being let go. Larkin, yet to appear in a regular-season contest since entering the league out of Purdue in 2017, may be worth a tryout for a team that is seeking a developmental backup or practice squad addition at defensive end.
