Beginning at 1 p.m. today, the Falcons can assemble their initial 2019 practice squad. Th
at gives them the opportunity to have up to ten players around who are worth developing and serving as emergency fill-in options if injuries bite deep into this roster.
In recent years, the practice squad has been a quality proving ground, yielding contributors like Marvin Hall and now Jaeden Graham, so it’s not going to be assembled on a whim. Look for the Falcons to snag a third quarterback, depth at spots like tight end and safety where they packed a little lighter on the actual roster, and just players they find legitimately intriguing.
