Per Mike Rothstein, the Falcons are elevating WR Damiere Byrd and TE Tucker Fisk for Week 9.
Byrd, 30, wound up signing on with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina back in 2015. He bounced on and off their active roster until signing a one-year deal with the Cardinals in March of 2019
He signed a one-year deal with the Patriots for 2020 and signed another one-year deal with the Bears in 2021. From there, Byrd joined the Falcons on a one-year contract for the 2022 season before catching on with the Panthers this offseason.
Carolina placed Byrd on injured reserve and he was later released with a settlement before catching on with Atlanta.
In 2022, Byrd appeared in 14 games for the Falcons and caught 13 passes for 268 yards receiving and two touchdowns.
