Falcons signing P Dustin Colquitt to practice squad

Atlanta vowed to look around for punter options after Cam Nizialek shanked a pair of punts against the Buccaneers, though they were careful to say they hadn’t definitively decided that they were making a switch. It’s still not clear whether they’ll make that switch, but they are adding an option to the practice squad in the form of longtime punter Dustin Colquitt.

That report comes via his agent, and the team confirmed a short time ago that he’ll be joining the practice squad. Bryan Witzmann will be released, meaning both guard options the Falcons brought aboard last week are now gone, potentially signaling that the team is more comfortable with Jalen Mayfield and their reserves than they were a week ago.
