CHARLOTTE – The Falcons added starting wide receiver Michael Jenkins to the injury list with an undisclosed "illness" on Saturday and made another roster move.

With wide receivers Roddy White (knee) and Brian Finneran (knee) already listed as questionable for the game, the Falcons released running back Aaron Stecker and signed wide receiver Troy Bergeron from the practice squad to the 53-man roster.

Bergeron, 6-2, 195 pounds, was signed by the Falcons as a free agent on May 10, 2009.

Bergeron, of Columbus, competed with the Georgia Force of the AFL for three seasons (2005, 2007-08) and recorded 328 receptions for 4,335 yards and 96 touchdowns.

He was  first  signed as a free agent by Atlanta in 2006, but was released following training camp. He was later signed to Buffalo's practice squad in Week 13 of the 2006.

Stecker, who was  signedby the Falcons as a free agent on October 27, played in two games and had two carries for 6 yards and five catches for 34 yards.

Running back Jason Snelling (hamstring) is expected to return against Carolina.
