The Atlanta Falcons announced Tuesday that they’ve officially re-signed QB Danny Etling to their practice squad after he cleared waivers.
Here’s the Falcons updated practice squad:
- S Chris Cooper
- OL Sean Harlow
- DT Jacob Tuioti-Mariner
- DT Justin Zimmer
- WR Brandon Powell
- OT Lukayus McNeil
- LB Ahmad Thomas
- TE Carson Meier
- WR Devin Gray
- QB Danny Etling
Etling, 25, was selected with the No. 219 overall pick in the seventh round of last year’s draft by the Patriots. He agreed to a four-year, $2,564,028 contract that included a $104,028 signing bonus with the Patriots, but was released coming out of the preseason.
The Patriots later re-signed Etling to their practice squad. New England re-signed Etling to a futures deal this past January only to cut him loose during the preseason.
Etling was later claimed off of waivers by the Falcons before being waived and re-signed to their practice squad. He was recently promoted to the active roster while Matt Ryan was hurt.
During his college career at Purdue and LSU, Etling threw for 7,076 yards while completing 57.9 percent of his passes to go along with 43 touchdowns and 19 interceptions.
