The Falcons have brought back tight end Luke Stocker, who spent the 2019 season with the Falcons before being released back in mid-March as part of the team’s major cap space-related purge. The veteran re-joins the team as easily the most experienced and proven option at a position where that experience is likely needed, so it’s good to have him back.
Stocker likely slots in as Hayden Hurst’s top backup, though Jaeden Graham will get run when the team needs a receiving option, which Stocker emphatically is not. The move likely relegates one of Khari Lee and Jared Pinkney to the practice squad, if not both of them, and gives this depth chart its blocking tight end.
