Falcons bulk up lines with Goodman, Graf
Defensive end Malliciah Goodman, a former Falcons draft pick, had a try out for the team on Thursday and was signed by the team on Tuesday.
The Falcons also signed offensive lineman Kevin Graf.
To make room for Goodman and Graf, the Falcons released defensive end Cliff Matthews and center Trevor Robinson.
Goodman, who was taken in the fourth-round of the 2013 draft, played in 34 games and made 11 starts over three seasons. He was cut by the team in September. He played in one game with Seattle this season before being released.
With the knee injury to Adrian Clayborn, the Falcons are down a defensive end and starting left tackle Jake Matthews has a knee sprain and will not practice on Wednesday.
