Why Falcons sign 2 super stars to practice squad

Punter Bradley Pinion’s illness forced the Atlanta Falcons to make an abrupt roster change from their original 16-man group on Saturday afternoon.

According to ESPN’s Michael Rothstein, the team released linebacker Donavan Mutin and added punter Pat O’Donnell to the practice squad.

Bradley Pinion of the Falcons is now doubtful due to illness.

Atlanta elevated P. Pat O’Donnell with a PS elevation and added him to the practice squad. Plus, LB Andre Smith Jr. was elevated.
