FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -- Cornerback Chevis Jackson is the most prominent player let go by the Atlanta Falcons in the final round of cuts Saturday.
The Falcons cut 20 players to reach the 53-man limit for the regular season. A third-round pick out of LSU in 2008, Jackson had worked as a nickel back the past two years. But he struggled during the preseason and lost his job in a revamped secondary.
The Falcons also waived tight ends Robbie Agnone and Keith Zinger, wide receivers Troy Bergeron, Tim Buckley, Andy Strickland and Ryan Wolfe, running back Dimitri Nance, center Blake Schlueter, safeties Rafael Bush and Eric Brock, cornerback Dominique Daniels, linebackers Weston Johnson and Bear Woods, defensive ends Maurice Lucas and Emmanuel Stephens and guard Jose Valdez.
In addition, Atlanta terminated the contracts of fullback Dan Klecko and center Brett Romberg and waived-injured wide receiver Brandyn Harvey.
The Falcons can bring back up to eight players for their practice squad Sunday.
