The Falcons have spun the ol’ punter wheel a couple of times this season, but they appear to have settled in nicely with Dustin Colquitt. The 39-year-old is 13th in the NFL in yards per punt average right now and has mostly gotten stronger as the weeks have worn on, the deeply unfortunate blocked punt against Dallas notwithstanding.
If the team and Colquitt are lucky, he’ll suit up against the Jaguars and keep the good punts rolling. There is some doubt with that now, though, because Colquitt has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
We have placed Dustin Colquitt on the reserve/COVID-19 list and have released Joe Sculthorpe from the practice squad.
