The Falcons promoted defensive tackle Taniela Tupou to the 53-man roster from the practice squad on Tuesday.
The Falcons placed defensive end Jack Crawford on injured reserve due to a bicep injury, ending the season of the defensive lineman last Tuesday.
The promotion of Tupou is the corresponding roster move.
Tupou, 24, is listed at 6-foot-1 and 284 pounds. He played at Washington and is listed second behind Dontari Poe at defensive tackle on the depth chart.
The team listed Damontae Kazee as the third free safety behind Sharrod Neasman, but since Kazee started for Ricardo Allen against Buffalo, we shifted him to the second slot.
Here’s the official depth chart released by the Falcons:
