Atlanta’s starting to make a habit of snatching players off of other teams’ practice squads. Last week it was tackle Storm Norton joining up from New Orleans, and this week it’s defensive lineman Eli Ankou being signed away from the Bills practice squad.
If Ankou’s name sounds a bit familiar, it’s because he was with the Falcons during the spring and summer of 2021 in two different stints. A durable run defender, flashed a bit in his rookie season in Jacksonville and has been traveling around the league since, spending most of each of the past three years with Buffalo.
