The Atlanta Falcons have yet to officially announce rookie Desmond Ridder as the starting quarterback, but the team added another QB to the 53-man roster on Saturday.
As reported by ESPN’s Field Yates, the Falcons signed veteran quarterback Logan Woodside off of the Tennessee Titans’ practice squad.

Woodside, 27, was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the seventh round of the 2018 draft out of Toledo. He has appeared in 11 games over the last two seasons for the Titans, but he has yet to make his first NFL start. For his career, Woodside has completed 1-of-3 passes for seven yards.
Woodside’s signing is a bit of a surprise, and you have to wonder how it coincides with the recent reports of Ridder taking over as Atlanta’s starting quarterback. The team has customarily dressed two quarterbacks this season, although TE Feleipe Franks is also a former QB.
In a corresponding move, the Falcons waived linebacker Nate Landman. The team takes on the New Orleans Saints in Week 15 coming off of a bye.
