Getty Matt Ryan #2 of the Atlanta Falcons was sacked twice and intercepted twice against the Cowboys in Week 10.
The Atlanta Falcons added some depth to their weak offensive line by signing offensive tackle/guard Rick Leonard to their practice squad on Wednesday, per his NFL agent Brett Tessler.
The move comes after the Falcons did their obligatory release of kicker Elliot Fry.
Leonard,24, entered the league in 2018 as a 4th round draft pick of the New Orleans Saints. Since then, he’s bounced around playing short stints with the LA Rams, Arizona Cardinals, Houstons Texans, and more recently, the Washinton Football Team.
However, he has yet to play this season after he landed on the Injured Reserve List with a leg injury in training camp. The Football team released him on an injury settlement, but he’s back to being healthy again.
The addition on Leonard makes sense since the Falcons are weak at the guard position with Josh Andrews still on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
