Earlier this past weekend, the Falcons signed five players to their practice squad. That left three spots to be filled and that was done on Sunday as the Falcons added TE Chase Coffman, S Mark LeGree and LB Pat Schiller to the team.
Coffman jumped at the chance to join the Falcons
TE Chase Coffman- Coffman is the biggest "name" of the three guys that got signed Sunday. He was originally a third round pick of the Bengals but got hurt in his first year and has bounced around a bit since then. He joined the Falcons late in the pre-season so wasn't able to show much during the games. We all know how much Thomas Dimitroff likes Missouri players (Sean Weatherspoon and William Moore) so I would expect him to get a long look while he's on the squad, especially with Gonzo's looming retirement.

Falcons running back Jason Snelling is questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City with a leg injury.Fantasy Spin:Snelling has proven in the past to be a reliable option for Michael Turner, but in the Falcons' new pass-first offense, the team seems to be turning more to speedy Jacquizz Rodgers.
