The Atlanta Falcons commenced the assembly of their 16-player practice squad at noon ET on Wednesday. By the end of the day, the team had signed 13 players to the unit.
From defensive lineman Demone Harris to wide receiver Chris Blair, all names should be familiar from the Falcons' 90-man training camp roster at some point.
The latest signings include:
- Wide receiver Chris Blair
- Cornerback Natrone Brooks
- Wide receiver Dylan Drummond
- Defensive lineman Demone Harris
- Defensive tackle Zion Logue
- Defensive lineman LaCale London
- Wide receiver Jesse Matthews
- Offensive lineman Andrew Stueber
- Running back Carlos Washington Jr.
- Safety Dane Cruikshank
- Offensive lineman Julién Davenport
- Cornerback Kevin King
- Tight end John FitzPatrick
Additionally, the Falcons signed defensive lineman Kenny Oginni to the practice squad as an international player. As a result, he does not count against the 16-player limit, leaving Atlanta with three open spots.
Similar to Tuesday's 53-man roster, Wednesday's 16-player practice squad is subject to change throughout the 2024 season.
The Falcons will have the ability to elevate two practice squad players each game week. Each practice squad player is permitted three elevations per season; a fourth elevation would necessitate signing that player to the 53-man roster.
