Falcons Call Up Two Players Including RB Khalil Herbert

Herbert, 28, is a former sixth-round pick of the Bears out of Virginia Tech back in 2021. He was later traded to the Bengals during the season. 

Herbert finished out the final year of his four-year rookie contract and was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent when he signed on with the Colts. However, he was let go during final roster cuts and brought back to the practice squad before being let go again. 

The Colts released Herbert from their practice squad in September last year and he caught on with Seattle’s practice squad. He had stints with the Jets and 49ers before joining the Falcons practice squad.

In 2025, Herbert appeared in seven games for the Jets and rushed 16 times for 52 yards to go along with one catch for four yards.
