According to Aaron Wilson, the Falcons have released TE MyCole Pruitt as they trim the roster down to 53 players.
Pruitt had some familiarity with HC Arthur Smith and perhaps might be a candidate to stick around on the practice squad as depth.
Pruitt, 30, is a former fifth-round pick of the Vikings back in 2015. He spent over a year in Minnesota before he was cut loose at the start of the 2016 season.
Pruitt had brief stints with the Bears and Bills before joining the Texans in 2017. Houston waived Pruitt coming out of the preseason and the Titans later signed him to their active roster during the 2018 season.
Tennessee brought Pruitt back on a one-year contract and he signed with the 49ers as an unrestricted free agent the following offseason, yet never appeared in a regular season game for them. He returned to the Titans on the practice squad and was quickly promoted to the active roster.
He caught on with the Falcons during training camp going into the 2022 season.
In 2021, Pruitt appeared in 16 games for the Titans and caught 14 passes for 145 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
