The addition of Jeff Overbaugh to the practice squad only made sense if the Falcons were hellbent on finding a long-term successor for Josh Harris or Harris was injured. We’re finding out today that it was the latter situation.
Per multiple reports, Josh Harris is nursing a hip injury, and the Falcons seem genuinely unsure of whether he’ll be able to go Thursday night at this point. If that’s the case, the reason they left that last roster spot open becomes glaringly obvious, though they’ll still likely look to fill it with a veteran addition after the week is over.
