Falcons safety Sean Baker and defensive tackle Adam Replogle were promoted from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Thursday.

They will take the roster spots created by the team placing defensive tackle Corey Peters (Achilles) and safety Zeke Motta (fractured neck) on injured reserve.

Replogle, who played at Indiana, has been on the practice squad all season.

Baker, who played at Ball State, was signed to practice squad on Oct. 22.

The Falcons now have 11 players on injured reserve.
