The Atlanta Falcons made several changes to their wide receiver room on Tuesday, signing veteran James Washington and second-year player Jesse Matthews while releasing rookie Isaiah Wooden.

The team also placed offensive lineman Tyler Vrabel on the reserve/retired list.

Washington, 28, is the more experienced of the two additions, having caught 114 passes for 1,629 yards and 11 touchdowns in 62 games. A second-round pick by Pittsburgh in 2018, he spent four seasons with the Steelers before playing in two games with the Dallas Cowboys in 2022. He was released by the Indianapolis Colts before the start of last season.

Matthews, 24, signed with the Houston Texans after going undrafted out of San Diego State in 2023, but spent last season on injured reserve.
