Drummond (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants. Drummond was elevated from the Falcons' practice squad Saturday for the first time this season. However, he will not suit up Sunday due to KhaDarel Hodge (ribs) being cleared to play. Drummond's next opportunity to be elevated to the active roster will be for Week 17 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 29.
The Falcons elevated Drummond from the practice squad Saturday. Drummond's elevation coupled with Chris Blair's signing to the 53-man roster would seem to indicate KhaDarel Hodge (ribs) is on the wrong side of the questionable tag ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. Drummond appeared in one game for the Lions last season, playing five snaps on offense and another three on special teams. He's yet to see action in 2024 and is still looking for his first NFL target.
Drummond signed with the Falcons' practice squad on Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports. Drummond caught six passes for 22 yards during the preseason, which wasn't enough to make the team's final roster. However, the Eastern Michigan product was able to show enough to stick around in the organization as practice-squad depth.
Drummond was waived by the Falcons on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official website reports. Drummond signed with the Falcons in May, reeling in six catches for 22 yards during the preseason. If the wide receiver clears waivers, his most likely next landing spot is right back with Atlanta as a member of the team's practice squad.
The Falcons signed Drummond on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The Eastern Michigan product was most recently with the Giants' practice squad, but he's now been given a new opportunity in Atlanta. Drummond's only in-game action came in Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season with the Lions, playing a total of eight snaps and failing to record a single stat. Expect Drummond to compete for a depth role in Atlanta's wide receiver room as the offseason unfolds.
Drummond has found a new home just one day after the Lions dropped him from their practice squad. The rookie wideout signed with Detroit as an undrafted free agent this offseason, and he's appeared in one game thus far, playing eight total snaps (five offensive and three on special teams).
Drummond joined Detroit in the spring as an undrafted free agent out of Eastern Michigan. After being unable to make the squad out of camp, he secured a practice squad spot, which resulted in one elevation to the active roster in Week 5 against the Panthers. In a corresponding move, the Lions signed fellow wideout Tom Kennedy to the practice squad.
