The Falcons surprisingly kept Richard Jarvis on their active roster heading into the year, but predictably that didn’t last very long with injuries and necessary roster moves cropping up. That doesn’t mean Jarvis went anywhere, though, as the team kept him on the practice squad and now will call him back up to the active roster.
With the team a little thin and shaky at linebacker at the moment, the team has elected to reach an injury settlement with Corey Nelson and bring Jarvis back to the active roster. Nelson had a short stint with Atlanta as a special teamer, and that’s the role Jarvis is most likely to fill in the immediate future.
