The Falcons were awarded tackle Bryce Harris on waivers to reach the 53-man roster limit on Sunday.

Harris, 6-foot-6 and 300 pounds, was originally signed by the Falcons as undrafted rookie free agent following 2012 NFL draft.

The Fresno State product was signed off the Falcons practice squad by the New Orleans Saints on September 10, 2012. In three seasons with the Saints, Harris has played in 34 games and made four starters.
