Punter Matt Wile, who played at Michigan, was signed to the 53-man roster by the Falcons on Tuesday.

After the 2015 draft, Wile was signed by the Panthers as an undrafted free agent. He was in camp with the Cowboys in 2015.

Punter Matt Bosher suffered a hamstring injury against the Eagles and couldn’t finish the game. Kicker Matt Bryant took over and punted twice and had a 33.5 average.

Bosher was at practice on Monday.
