Offensive lineman John Wetzel and punter Matt Bosher were activated to fill out the Falcons’ 53-man roster on Monday.
Punter Ryan Allen and linebacker Jermaine Grace were released on Friday.
Bosher, who’s in his ninth season with the Falcons, has battled a groin injury this season as the team has used five different punters.
Wetzel, who has been on-and-off the roster this season, has played in 40 NFL games with 24 starts at right tackle, right guard and left tackle.
Was wondering why the #Falcons cut the teams leading special teams tackler LB Jermaine Grace. He gave up the blocked punt to Taysom Hill and didn’t cover Vita Vea on the #GoBucs TD pass the previous week.
