The Falcons added linebacker LaRoy Reynolds to the 53-man roster on Tuesday.

Reynolds suffered a pectoral injury during the exhibition season and has been out since. The Falcons moved linebacker Jordan Tripp, who was in the concussion protocol, to the injured reserve list.

Reynolds, mostly a speedy special teams player, has played in 59 NFL games and made just seven starts.

He played in all 16 regular-season games last season with the Falcons. He had 23 tackles and one fumble recovery. He also had seven tackles on special teams.
