Falcons elevate DB Natrone Brooks from practice squad

The Falcons elevated DB Natrone Brooks from the practice squad for Sunday’s season finale against the Saints

The Atlanta Falcons have elevated defensive back Natrone Brooks from the practice squad for Sunday’s season finale against the New Orleans Saints. Saints, the team announced on Saturday afternoon.

Brooks, an undrafted free agent out of Southern Mississippi, will join the Falcons’ 53-man roster in Week 18. The rookie impressed the coaching staff during training camp but he did not survive final cuts.

Each member of the practice squad can be elevated for three games before the team must sign them to the active roster. Check out Atlanta’s updated 53-man roster heading into Sunday’s game in New Orleans.
