The Falcons are playing the Panthers tomorrow, and as expected, they had a few moves left up their sleeves before kickoff.
The team made the not-very-surprising move of activating Hayden Hurst to the roster, and the less expected move of cutting running back Wayne Gallman and adding fellow running back Qadree Ollison to the active roster.
Hurst will slide right in as the team’s de facto second tight end, and the Falcons will hope he adds some pass catching production and quality blocking to the mix for Atlanta. This team has struggled to throw the ball since Hurst went on injured reserve, and while I hardly think you can say that’s the major reason why, Hurst can help stretch the field and make tough sideline catches when he’s healthy.
