Falcons Promote WR Brandon Powell, Sign Two To Practice Squad

The Atlanta Falcons announced Tuesday that they have promoted WR Brandon Powell to their active roster and signed G Anthony Coyle and S C.J. Reavis to their practice squad.

Here’s the Falcons updated practice squad:

  1. S Chris Cooper
  2. OL Sean Harlow
  3. DT Justin Zimmer
  4. WR Brandon Powell
  5. OT Lukayus McNeil
  6. LB Ahmad Thomas
  7. TE Carson Meier
  8. WR Devin Gray
  9. QB Danny Etling

Powell, 24, wound up going undrafted out of Florida back in 2018 before signing a three-year, $1.71 million contract with the Lions. Unfortunately, Detroit waived coming out of the preseason a few months ago.

The Falcons later signed Powell to their practice squad.

In 2018, Powell appeared in six games for the Lions and caught 11 passes for 129 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
