Former Falcons' castoff finally played his way onto Atlanta's full-time roster

Khalid Kareem was activated for each of the last two games for the Atlanta Falcons, which means the Falcons have no more practice squad elevations left for the veteran pass-rusher. And after an impressive fourth-down stop in the win over the Rams, he may have cemented his future in Atlanta.

In the 27-24 victory on Monday Night Football, Kareem logged just two tackles, but one of those came on fourth-and-short, where he stopped Kyren Williams two yards behind the line of scrimmage to leave the Rams scoreless despite driving deep into Atlanta territory early in the first quarter.
