Falcons promoted tight end D.J. Tialavea and linebacker Josh Keyes to the 53-man roster on Thursday.

To make room, they waived defensive end Malliciah Goodman and safety Robenson Therezie.

Tialavea was needed with Austin Hooper (knee injury) set to miss Saturday’s game against the Panthers in Charlotte.
