Falcons place Jaeden Graham on injured reserve, sign Trevor Davis
On Wednesday, Atlanta Falcons tight end Jaeden Graham injured his knee at practice, but the team let him test it out on Thursday before placing him on injured reserve. Graham, 25, has been a good depth player who was set to have an increased role in Arthur Smith’s offense this season.

Taking his place on the roster is wide receiver Trevor Davis, who signed this morning. Drafted in the fifth round back in 2016 by the Green Bay Packers, Davis brings depth to the receiver room and is another player that’s experienced at returning both kicks and punts.
In 49 games, he’s returned 59 punts and 58 kickoffs, while racking up 16 catches for 205 yards and one touchdown.
