Falcons sign two players to 16-man practice squad

The Atlanta Falcons signed two players to their 16-man practice squad and released two others, the team announced on Wednesday morning. Linebacker Andre Smith Jr. and wide receiver Keilahn Harris have replaced Xavier Malone and C.J. Saunders, per team reporter Tori McElhaney.

Smith Jr. was released from the 53-man roster on Tuesday after the team acquired wide receiver Van Jefferson in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams. Harris was on Atlanta’s 90-man training camp roster and now rejoins the team via practice squad.

Check out the team’s updated 16-man practice squad following Wednesday’s transactions.
