The Falcons today signed wide receiver Ryan Spadola to their 10-man practice squad.

Spadola played in three games for the Jets and one with the Dolphins in 2013. The Jets signed him as a free agent after he wasn’t selected in the 2013 draft out of Lehigh.

Spadola takes the practice-squad slot created when the Falcons signed wide receiver Freddie Martino to the active roster on Tuesday.
