Falcons sign LB Pita Taumoepenu and DB Shyheim Carter to practice squad

Coming off of their first win of the 2020 season, the Atlanta Falcons have turned their attention to Week 7’s matchup with the Detroit Lions. With a new week, a new series of moves have occurred, as the team has signed both linebacker Pita Taumoepenu and safety Shyheim Carter to the practice squad.

Those two practice squad spots were available because the Falcons released safety J.J. Wilcox and linebacker James Burgess was signed by another team, which we now know was the Green Bay Packers.
