The Falcons signed Dotson to a reserve/future contract Monday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports. The Northern Colorado product was added to the Falcons' practice squad in early December after failing to make the Chargers' 53-man roster before the regular season. Dotson appeared in four games with the Chargers in 2023, taking four carries for six yards across 34 total snaps (15 offensive and 19 on special teams). He's expected to compete for a reserve role in Atlanta's backfield as the team begins its offseason activities.
The Falcons signed Dotson to the practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports. Dotson was unable to make the Chargers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he will head to Atlanta and be available to provide depth at running back if needed on game day. Dotson appeared in four regular-season games for the Chargers in 2023 and turned four carries into six yards while adding two catches on as many targets for 13 yards.
Dotson was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday. Dotson managed to catch on with the Chargers' 53-man roster in 2023 after a productive preseason, but he wasn't able to replicate that success this time around. He finished the season with 38 rushing yards on 11 carries and ultimately wasn't able to stick around in a depth backfield role. Should he clear waivers, Dotson could sign to the Chargers' practice squad or search for opportunities elsewhere.
