Falcons release Rex Grossman after a week

On a day filled with NFL cuts as clubs look to trim their rosters down to 53 players, quarterback Rex Grossman was the latest to get the bad news.

Grossman was released by the Atlanta Falcons on Friday afternoon, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Not that he had much of a chance to make something of himself there, the Falcons signing him only last week. Sean Renfree is the only passer left on the team behind Matt Ryan, as T.J. Yates is also heading for the chopping block, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Grossman went 4-for-9 on 41 yards in the Falcon's preseason finale on Thursday night, the first gridiron action he's seen since starting for the Redskins in 2011.
