Falcons sign S Shawn Williams to active roster, WR Chad Hansen to practice squad, make other moves

The Atlanta Falcons may be all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs after their Week 15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but the show must go on over the remaining three weeks of the 2021 NFL season. A Week 16 contest with the Detroit Lions—which theoretically should be a pretty winnable game—awaits this weekend.

On Tuesday, the Falcons made a flurry of small moves, per ESPN’s Michael Rothstein.

Falcons sign S Shawn Williams to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.

Sign WR Chad Hansen to the practice squad.
