Falcons RB lands with Chiefs practice squad
2 Sep
Summary
- Nathan Carter joins the Chiefs' practice squad.
- Carter played seven games for the Falcons last season.
- Falcons roster moves raise questions about RB depth.
Nathan Carter, a former running back for the Atlanta Falcons, has officially joined the practice squad of the Kansas City Chiefs. Carter, originally signed by the Falcons as an undrafted free agent following the 2025 NFL Draft, spent his rookie season contributing mostly on special teams, with limited carries. His kick-return capabilities are expected to bolster his prospects with his new team.
The Falcons' decision to release veteran running back Tyler Goodson has drawn scrutiny, especially given the team's decision to carry four quarterbacks. Goodson's performance during training camp and the preseason suggested he had earned a spot on the 53-man roster. His departure, alongside Carter's move to Kansas City, leaves questions about the Falcons' depth at the running back position as their season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers approaches.
