The Atlanta Falcons got a big upset win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, and one of the catalysts of that victory was a clutch touchdown catch by tight end MyCole Pruitt on the opening drive. Pruitt signed with Atlanta in training camp and impressed quickly in the preseason, but didn’t wind up making the final 53-man roster. Instead, Pruitt signed to the practice squad, where he spent the first six weeks of the season.
It appears Pruitt has finally played his way onto the team, as the Falcons are signing him to the active roster on Tuesday.
