The Falcons made several roster moves involving the practice squad Tuesday. Running back Brian Hill, quarterback Garrett Grayson and defensive lineman Joey Ivie were signed. Grayson and Ivie are new to the team. To make room, the Falcons released kicker Mike Meyer and placed quarterback Trevor Knight on the practice squad-injured list.

Grayson played collegiately at Colorado State and threw for 9,190 yards and 64 touchdowns in four seasons. He was selected by the Saints in the third round of the 2015 draft. He was on the Saints’ practice squad before being waived in September.

Ivie played collegiately at Florida. In his final season, he started 10 games and had 26 tackles and 2.5 sacks. He was selected by the Cowboys in the seventh round of the 2017 draft.
