Philadelphia released Dalton on Oct. 9 after he threw an interception on his only attempt as Jalen Hurts’ backup. The 38-year-old Dalton was acquired by the Eagles from Carolina, where he made seven starts in three seasons, on March 18. Rush was 0-2 as the Falcons' fill-in starter to open the season.
