ATLANTA -- A week after Josh Rosen signed with the Atlanta Falcons, the former first-round pick ended up making the team's initial 53-man roster.
Rosen signed with Atlanta last Tuesday, practiced for three days and then played the second half of the team's 19-10 loss to Cleveland on Sunday. After the game, Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said he felt Rosen did well but was not ready to commit to giving the quarterback a longer look.
On Tuesday, the team made the commitment by keeping him as one potential backup to starting QB Matt Ryan, along with undrafted rookie Feleipe Franks.
