The Falcons announced on Tuesday that they have placed LB Troy Andersen on injured reserve and are signing OL Storm Norton to the active roster in his place.
We've made the following roster moves:
– Signed Storm Norton to the 53-man
– Placed Troy Andersen on IR— Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) September 26, 2023
Norton, 28, wound up signing a three-year, $1.66 million contract with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Toledo. He was set to make base salaries of $465,000 and $555,000 over the first two years of the contract when the Lions cut him loose coming out of the preseason.
Norton was on and off of Lions, Cardinals, and Vikings’ practice squads before signing a futures deal with the Vikings. Norton then took an opportunity to play in the XFL and signed on with the Chargers soon after.
The Chargers re-signed Norton to an exclusive rights free-agent deal last offseason and he then joined the Falcons this past offseason.
In 2022, Norton appeared in 12 games for the Chargers in a reserve role.
