Let go by Atlanta
The Falcons waived Rourke on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Rourke joined the Falcons on Aug. 1 after being waived by the Giants four days prior. He was brought in to compete with Taylor Heinicke for the No. 3 quarterback job, but Rourke struggled in Atlanta's 20-13 preseason loss to Miami, completing just three of 13 passes for 37 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions, though he did add 24 rushing yards on two carries. Should he clear waivers, Rourke will look for an opportunity to catch on with a team in need of an emergency quarterback.

Sasha Yodashkin previews the DFS contests for Friday's preseason games as Michael Penix debuts for the Falcons.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Rourke joined the Jaguars on a reserve/future contract in January after an impressive season with the BC Lions in the CFL. The 25-year-old is likely a longshot to make Jacksonville's season-opening roster, with C.J. Beathard expected to open the campaign as Trevor Lawrence's top backup. Rourke threw for 3,349 yards with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while rushing for 309 yards and seven touchdowns in just 10 games for BC last year, and he's a strong candidate to end up on the practice squad.
