FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons have placed longtime punter Matt Bosher on injured reserve and re-signed Matt Wile ahead of Sunday's game against the Houston Texans.
The 31-year-old Bosher will miss at least eight weeks because of a groin injury. Offensive lineman John Wetzel was waived Saturday to clear a spot on the 53-man roster for Wile.
Bosher was sidelined with the injury in Week 3 at Indianapolis. He returned for last Sunday's loss to Tennessee and practiced all week before being ruled out Friday, apparently after re-injuring the groin.
