The Atlanta Falcons are signing former first-round pick Josh Rosen to replace AJ McCarron and compete for the team's open backup quarterback position, a source told ESPN's Jordan Schultz on Monday.
The spot became vacated when McCarron -- who signed with Atlanta in April -- tore his right ACL in the second quarter of Saturday's preseason game against the Dolphins in Miami, ending his season.
Speaking earlier Monday, Falcons coach Arthur Smith said the team would work out and add a quarterback to compete with Feleipe Franks as the back up to starter Matt Ryan.
