‘“When you know the person, you know it’s not going to beat or keep Matt Milano down,” McDermott said. “This has been a tough period for him and for us.

‘Atlanta Falcons linebacker Matt Judon tore his bicep in the fourth game of the season with the New England Patriots last year and missed the remainder of the season.

‘Claypool’s release will open the door a bit more for Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who has had a series of ups and downs throughout camp and in the preseason opener against the Chicago Bears.
