Former Starting WR Ray-Ray McCloud's Fall From Grace Is Complete Following Release by Falcons
Ray-Ray McCloud was released after a private team matter, having recorded six catches for 64 yards in four games this season, Falcons coach said.
- On Tuesday, the Atlanta Falcons released wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III after sending him home last week and listing him out against the San Francisco 49ers, as first reported by Adam Schefter.
- After being sent home last week, McCloud had been a surprise healthy scratch in Week 6 and Falcons coach Raheem Morris said he was "working through some things" in a private matter not necessarily disciplinary.
- McCloud, 29, had a career year in 2024 with 62 receptions for 686 yards and a touchdown, but this season he managed just six catches for 64 yards and has not played since Sept. 28.
- With McCloud off the roster, the Falcons open spots for Casey Washington, David Sills V and KhaDarel Hodge and may target receivers before the November 4 trade deadline.
- With NFL experience across multiple teams, McCloud will look for another opportunity and could draw interest as a kick returner, with teams tracking his availability after reporter Adam Schefter's Tuesday report.
