The Falcons practice squad has been hit by the injury bug, and it’s going to cost them Parker Hesse. The corresponding move, however, brings a familiar face back into the fold.
Hesse was a vital blocker for the Falcons the past two seasons, but has been on the practice squad in 2023 with Jonnu Smith added and both MyCole Pruitt and John FitzPatrick on the active roster. We’re not sure how he’ll be out for, but even if he returns this season, Hesse is unlikely to have more than a small role for a team that isn’t even finding snaps for FitzPatrick at the moment.
