Kareem was waived Thursday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports. Kareem was signed to the active roster in Week 11 and appeared in the Week 11 overtime loss to the Panthers. The edge rusher's release was not followed by any moves, so the Falcons still have a 53-man roster spot available. If Kareem clears waivers, there is a good chance he will end up back with the Falcons on the practice squad.

Khalid Kareem: Breaking News
Elevated for Week 11
The Falcons elevated Kareem to the active roster Thursday, Terrin Waack of the team's official website reports. Kareem spent the majority of the 2024 season on the Falcons' practice squad, appearing in two games where he recorded four total tackles (two solo). This is the 27-year-old's first time being elevated this season, where he will be an additional depth piece at linebacker after DeAngelo Malone was placed on injured reserve.
Set to play Sunday
Kareem did not suit up for the first two games of the season before picking up a hip injury ahead of the Bears' Week 3 matchup against the Chiefs. He was placed on IR on Sept. 25 and is now set to make his 2023 debut Sunday against the Chargers. His last full season came in his rookie year in 2020 with the Bengals, when he registered 19 tackles including one sack in 16 games.
