FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons released defensive lineman Ikenna Enechukwu, the team announced Tuesday.

Enechukwu was an undrafted free agent out of Rice University in 2023, which is when the Falcons first signed him. Come August, though, Enechukwu was waived/injured before ultimately being placed on injured reserve, where he remained through the regular season. Therefore, he has yet to see any live NFL action.

Enechukwu is 24 years old and originally from Kansas City, Missouri.
