The Falcons placed punter Dustin Colquitt on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week, and the team then embarked on a flurry of signings to replace him between practice squad addition Dom Maggio and veteran punter Thomas Morstead.
Now we know who the COVID-19 flex will be this week from the practice squad, as Dorian Etheridge will join the roster for the game against the Jaguars.

This may be a clue that Deion Jones won’t be playing Sunday against the Jaguars after popping up as a late questionable addition to the injury report, which would press Mykal Walker into a full-time role with Etheridge as a backup and special teamer.
