The Atlanta Falcons have officially signed 13 players to their practice squad, the team announced on Wednesday afternoon. After cutting 35 players ahead of Tuesday’s 53-man roster deadline, the Falcons brought back some familiar faces.

Wide receiver Chris Blair and defensive back Natrone Brooks, two of the team’s biggest preseason standouts, will return to Atlanta along with cornerback Kevin King and rookie defensive lineman Zion Logue. While the Falcons still have three spots available, check out all 13 practice squad members below.

  1. WR Chris Blair
  2. WR Jesse Matthews
  3. WR Dylan Drummond
  4. RB Carlos Washington Jr.
  5. OL Andrew Stueber
  6. OL Julién Davenport

  8. CB Natrone Brooks
  9. CB Kevin King
  10. DB Dane Cruikshank

The Falcons placed safety DeMarcco Hellams on the reserve/injured list with a return designation as part of their purge down to 53 players. Hellams can return starting in Week 5.

While Hellams’ absence hurts, the team is in good shape at the safety position after signing free agent Justin Simmons. Check out the team’s complete 53-man roster HERE.
