Falcons sign CB Tyler Hall to practice squad, release DE Austin Edwards

The Atlanta Falcons are tweaking their 16-man practice squad for the third consecutive day, signing cornerback Tyler Hall on Friday morning and releasing DE Austin Edwards to make room. Both players signed with the Falcons as undrafted free agents following the draft.

Hall, a standout from Wyoming, has drawn praise from the Falcons coaching staff, and it’s not surprising to see him return to the team.

As for Edwards, who comes from little Ferris State college in Michigan, he lasted longer than many other highly-regarded prospects, and some draft picks. Don’t be surprised to see him return to Atlanta at some point.

The Falcons announced their four protected practice squad players this week, keeping QB Kurt Benkert, LB Edmond Robinson, P Cameron Nizialek and WR Chris Rowland.
