The Pittsburgh Steelers released 11 players, including long snapper Jake McQuaide and quarterback Logan Woodside, as part of their roster cuts to meet the NFL's 53-player limit, with some moves indicating confidence in injured players like Christian Kuntz.
Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith did not name a starting quarterback for the team moving forward after their Week 15 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Smith stated that the decision is not final and that they are still working through it. He ruled out the possibility of bringing in a quarterback from outside the team, leaving the decision between Ridder and Heinicke. Ridder threw an interception in the game that led to the Panthers' game-winning drive, prompting uncertainty about his role. Ridder has accumulated multiple turnovers this season, while Heinicke has shown promise in his limited appearances.
