Falcons sign Woodard to practice squad, Perkins injured

The Falcons signed defensive end Jonathan Woodard to the practice squad on Wednesday.

Tight end Joshua Perkins was placed on the practice squad injured list.

Woodard, 6-foot-6 and 287 pounds, played at Central Arkansas and was a seventh-round pick of the Jaguars in 2016. He worked out with the Falcons on Oct. 2.

He spent last season on the physically unable to perform list after suffering a ruptured Achilles while with Jacksonville.
