The Atlanta Falcons have brought back a recently-cut defensive lineman to the practice squad.

The team has signed DT Justin Zimmer to the practice squad and waived DB Taveze Calhoun from the practice squad.

Zimmer flashed his athletic potential and motor in the preseason and earned a spot on the 53-man roster to supplant the depth on the defensive line. Though, that was pre-injury bug, and being on the back end of the roster can tend to get you waived from time to time.
