The Falcons figured to bring a defensive lineman on board with Jack Crawford on injured reserve, but then Dan Quinn gestured toward the possibility that they could leave the line as is and bring aboard someone at another position. Never trust Dan Quinn on minor roster moves, I guess.
The team has promoted Taniel Tupou, who spent time with the Falcons in preseason and joined the practice squad, to the active roster. He joins fellow call-up Joe Vellano in shoring up the interior of the line, and this should probably be taken as a signal that Courtney Upshaw is not a 100% lock to play Sunday against Miami.
