The Atlanta Falcons are still trying to find ways to improve their pass rush as they enter the final six games of the season. On Friday, the team signed an outside linebacker from the 16-member training squad.
Harris has been called up from the practice squad three times and will now officially join the team's 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game . The 28-year-old has recorded 97 defensive tackles this season, including three tackles (one solo) and one press.
The Falcons had a vacant roster spot after releasing former seventh-round pick Jovaughn Gwyn from the roster on Thursday. The team selected Gwyn with pick No. 225 in the 2023 NFL draft out of South Carolina.
The 25-year-old appeared in two games for Atlanta over the last two seasons, but never got an offensive snap as he played primarily on special teams.
Atlanta also made a few practice squad transactions on Friday, signing the kicker and the release of safety Dane Cruikshank. Patterson can get insurance is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Check out the team's updates and the practice squad starts Week 13. Sunday's game begins at 1 p.m. ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
