The Falcons announced three moves on Saturday, elevating K Riley Patterson and LB Josh Woods for Week 13.
The team also signed OL Jovaughn Gwyn to their practice squad.
Patterson, 24, wound up going undrafted out of Memphis back in 2021. He later signed a rookie contract with the Vikings but was waived coming out of the preseason.
The Patriots later signed Patterson to their practice squad before the Lions added him to their active roster in late November. Detroit waived him at the start of the 2022 season and he was later claimed by the Jaguars.
Jacksonville had re-signed Patterson as an exclusive rights free agent this offseason but traded him to the Lions in May. He kicked most of the season for Detroit before being released and catching on with the Browns as an injury replacement.
From there, the Jaguars signed Patterson to a futures contract this offseason. Jacksonville waived him in July and he was later claimed by the Commanders. However, Washington let him go in August. He caught on with the Jets’ practice squad and was promoted last month but was cut after a couple of weeks.
In 2024, Patterson has appeared in one game for the Jets and converted all three extra point attempts.
