The Falcons worked out two veterans, but moved safety Jamal Carter up from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Tuesday, the team announced.
Veteran safeties George Iloka and T.J. McDonald are set to have workouts with the Falcons on Tuesday, according to NFL media.
The Falcons are looking to add a safety after Keanu Neal suffered a torn left Achilles in the 27-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
In addition to moving Carter up, the Falcons placed Neal on injured reserve, released punter Matt Wile, re-signed offensive lineman John Wetzel and signed tight end Carson Meier to the practice squad.
Carter, 25, joined the Falcons' practice squad after spending the preseason with the Denver Broncos and recording five tackles. Carter signed with the Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of Miami in 2017; he recorded 11 tackles while being active for all 16 games in his first season.
