The Falcons never stop making movies, even for major holidays. Christmas is no exception.
The team announced today that Daren Bates has been activated from injured reserve, bringing a key special teamer back into the fold. In addition, speedy receiver and familiar face Marvin Hall will be up from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Lions.
We have activated Daren Bates from the IR and elevated Marvin Hall (COVID-19 elevation) for Sunday’s game.

Bates was signed to help out on special teams, and he’ll return to that role now that he has been activated.
