Falcons signing former Jaguars DT Michael Bennett; worked Robert Ayers, Kony Ealy

We’ve been tossing the Atlanta Falcons some criticism the last week or so for ignoring their best options to replenish the flood of injuries currently ravishing the offense. We even mentioned Robert Ayers last week as a potential fill-in for the injured Derrick Shelby.

Apparently they kicked the tires on Ayers and others, but the injury to Grady Jarrett is pushing them to add another defensive tackle.

The #Falcons are signing former #Jaguars DT Michael Bennett, sources say. They also worked out edge players Robert Ayers and Kony Ealy today, but interior depth the priority after Grady Jarrett sprained an ankle Sunday.
