The Atlanta Falcons signed Divine Deablo to a deal that certainly implied he would get a real shot to start, which raised a few eyebrows given the presence of Troy Andersen. The Falcons both clearly liked Deablo and had concerns that the oft-injured Andersen would be able to take on and remain healthy for a starting role, and unfortunately those concerns are rooted in reality.
On Thursday, Raheem Morris said in his first press conference of training camp that the team would be placing Andersen on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, which means he’ll be unavailable for training camp practices and preseason games for an indeterminate amount of time.
