The Falcons just placed five players on injured reserve, and in corresponding moves they’ve officially announced the waiver claims of tackle Chuma Edoga and defensive lineman Matt Dickerson, as well as the return of three familiar faces.
We’ve already written about Edoga and Dickerson, but the re-signings of defensive lineman Abdullah Anderson, inside linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski, and offensive lineman Colby Gossett are all new to us. They’re also all welcome returns.
We’ll start with Anderson, who was a surprise cut a couple of days ago. The veteran defensive lineman joined the team partway through the summer and was one of the more consistently solid contributors in that group throughout preseason.
