They added three players to the roster to address injuries.
One thing they did not do was place safety Budda Baker on injured reserve despite his having a fractured shoulder that ends his season.
They signed receiver Andre Baccellia to the roster from the practice squad and elevated both long snapper Hunter Bradley and safety Josh Thomas.
Baccellia will add a receiver with DeAndre Hopkins out. It appears the receiving depth chart will be Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Greg Dortch and Robbie Anderson. Pharoh Cooper will return kicks and punts, while Baccellia will offer depth if needed.
Bradley’s elevation was a give as he is the only long snapper on the team after Aaron Brewer landed on injured reserve.
Thomas is elevated for the first time. He will likely play on special teams. With Baker injured, Chris Banjo will likely start with Jalen Thompson, while Isaiah Simmons should get playing time as well. Thomas and Charles Washington will play on special teams.
