Falcons place LB on injured reserve, sign veteran replacement
Falcons place JD Bertrand on IR, sign LB Josh Woods off practice squad
The Atlanta Falcons made two noteworthy moves on Monday evening: they placed linebacker JD Bertrand on the reserve/injured list and subsequently signed veteran Josh Woods from the practice squad. Bertrand, who had spent the past two seasons with the team, was limited to special teams duties this past season. Woods, 30 years old, contributed 14 total tackles in 12 games with the Falcons last year, primarily on special teams.
Woods' 137 career tackles (85 solo), one forced fumble, and one fumble recovered make him a logical replacement for Bertrand. This move leaves two practice squad spots open, potentially for Zach Harrison if he clears waivers. The Falcons' updated roster and practice squad details are available for further review.
