The Falcons have apparently identified a need at nose tackle in their defense, because they invited two candidates as tryout players for rookie minicamp and wound up signing both of them.
Yesterday, we heard from that 24-year-old Olive Sagapolu would be joining up, and today the Falcons made that addition official and announced the signing of veteran nose tackle Eli Ankou. They released Texas Tech defensive end Eli Howard, who joined up earlier this month as an undrafted free agent.
We have signed DL Eli Ankou and DL Olive Sagapolu and have released DL Eli Howard.
