It took a few days, but the Falcons now have their 2019 practice squad finalized. You know, as final as a group of ten players that shifts on a nearly weekly basis can get.

He was pretty shaky in Week 3 of preseason after joining the Falcons, but settled in nicely in Week 4, threw some pretty balls, and scrambled impressively and often. With Kurt Benkert on the shelf, Etling will be the team’s break-in-case-of-emergency option as a backup quarterback, and if he can refine his obvious talent he ought to give Benkert a decent battle a year from now.
