Former Wake Forest wide receiver Greg Dortch was signed to the Atlanta Falcons practice squad on Monday. The 22-year-old signed with the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent out of college in 2019 and has spent time with the Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Rams.

Dortch has played in just two career NFL games — both with the Panthers in 2019 — returning five kicks for 119 yards (23.8 yards per kick return) and four punts for 28 yards (7.0 yards per punt return).

If flexed to Atlanta’s active roster, Dortch could get a shot to return kicks on Sunday in the team’s season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
