The Atlanta Falcons waived DE Takk McKinley on Monday after failing to move him at last week’s trade deadline.
McKinley, 25, was drafted with the team’s first-round pick in 2017 but the Falcons declined his fifth-year option during the offseason. On Thursday, the Cincinnati Bengals claimed McKinley off of waivers.

The Bengals are just 2-5-1 after eight games, but have a young core and could be a potential long-term landing spot for McKinley if he plays well down the stretch.
In four games with the Falcons this season, the former UCLA standout recorded eight tackles (five solo), one sack and seven QB hits.
