Falcons sign kicker Graham, waive Rose
Falcons signed place kicker Shayne Graham, who finished last season with the team, and veteran safety Sergio Brown on Saturday.
The Falcons also released kicker Nick Rose, who missed three field goal in the first two exhibition games.
Brown is veteran who’s played in 86 NFL games with 15 starts. He’s played with New England, Indianapolis and Jacksonville.
Backup safety Kemal Ishmael is out with a shoulder injury and rookie safety Keanu Neal, who projected to start, is battling back from an injury and was beaten for a 29-yard touchdown pass in the 24-13 win over Cleveland.
The Falcons are now back up to the 90-man roster limit.
