The Atlanta Falcons have signed running backs Stevan Ridley and Terron Ward, the team announced on Tuesday via its official Twitter account.
Ridley is best known for his time with the New England Patriots, playing in 52 games from 2011-14. His best year came in 2012, when he finished with 1,263 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns.
The Falcons were in need of depth at running back after Tevin Coleman strained his hamstring in Week 7, per Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com.
Since leaving the Patriots in 2014, Ridley has bounced around the league with little success.
