Falcons Make Three Roster Moves Thursday

Additionally, the Falcons have placed DE DeAngelo Malone on injured reserve and signed CB C.J. Henderson to the practice squad.

Kareem, 27, was a two-year starter at Notre Dame where he was a team captain, before being selected in the fifth round of the draft by the Bengals in 2020. 

He was in the third year of a four-year rookie deal worth $3,649,474, which included a signing bonus of $354,474, when the Bengals waived him and re-signed him to the practice squad. 

However, the Colts later signed him away to their active roster. He appeared in four games for the Colts in 2022 before returning on a one-year deal for the 2023 season. He was let go during roster cuts. 

From there, the Bears claimed Kareem but released him back in October 2023. He eventually signed with Chicago on a futures deal in 2024 but they released him before the end of training camp. 

Kareem caught on with the Falcons shortly after and bounced back and forth from the practice squad in 2024. He was among final roster cuts in 2025 after signing a futures deal with Atalanta but quickly re-signed to the practice squad.

In 2024, Kareem appeared in two games for the Falcons and recorded four total tackles.
