The Falcons worked out a few specialists recently, prompting more than a few fans to wonder if they might be adding an emergency option for kicker, punter or long snapper to the practice squad. They’ll reportedly try to address two of those with on signing, bringing back familiar face Elliott Fry.
Fry joined the Falcons practice squad in October of last year and actually got into one game, making a field goal and one of two extra point tries against the Packers. He then spent the rest of the year on the practice squad and was signed to a reserve/future contract in January, sticking around until the new regime waived him in May.
