Falcons sign LB Donavan Mutin to 16-man practice squad

The Atlanta Falcons signed linebacker Donavan Mutin to the practice squad and released punter Pat O’Donnell

The Atlanta Falcons signed linebacker Donavan Mutin to their 16-man practice squad and released punter Pat O’Donnell, the team announced on Monday afternoon.

Mutin was signed by the Falcons last week and released a few days later when starting punter Bradley Pinion suffered an illness. With Pinion’s Week 8 game status in jeopardy, the team was forced to bring in O’Donnell on Saturday.

Mutin now replaces O’Donnell two days later on the 16-man roster. Look for Atlanta to make another move today or tomorrow with defensive lineman Grady Jarrett ruled out for the year.

The Falcons have yet to place Jarrett on the injured reserve list, but head coach Arthur Smith confirmed that the veteran defensive lineman was done for the season on Monday.

Make sure to check out the team’s updated 16-man practice squad following Monday’s transactions.

Colts make several moves to roster, practice squad

The Colts made several more moves Thursday, including the addition of DE Jacob Martin to the active roster.

The Indianapolis Colts continued to tweak the active roster and practice squad Thursday ahead of the Week 1 opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

After making additional moves following roster cuts Wednesday, the Colts were back at it Thursday. They added another edge rusher to the mix while parting ways with a depth offensive lineman.

They also added a cornerback and tight end to the practice squad while releasing a linebacker and cornerback to make room.

Here are the moves the Colts made Thursday:

Colts waive UDFA LB Donavan Mutin

The Colts waived UDFA LB Donavan Mutin.

The Indianapolis Colts waived undrafted free-agent linebacker Donavan Mutin on Monday ahead of the roster cut deadline, first reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Mutin was one of the undrafted free-agent rookies to make some type of impact throughout the spring program, training camp and preseason. He was a long shot to make the roster considering the depth in the room, but he likely did enough to earn a spot on the practice squad.

During the preseason, Mutin recorded three tackles (two solo), one fumble recovery and one special teams tackle.

The Colts have until Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET to finalize their initial 53-man roster. You can stay up to date with the latest moves via our tracker.
