The Falcons added linebacker LaRoy Reynolds to the 53-man roster on Tuesday.

Reynolds was slotted behind Vic Beasley at strongside linebacker in the depth chart released by the Falcons on Tuesday for Sunday’s game against Carolina, which is set for 1 p.m. at Sunday at Bank of America Stadium.

Reynolds suffered a pectoral injury during the exhibition season and was placed on injured reserve on Sept. 4. The Falcons moved linebacker Jordan Tripp, who was in the concussion protocol, to the injured reserve list.

Reynolds, mostly a speedy special teams player, has played in 59 NFL games and made just seven starts.

He played in all 16 regular-season games last season with the Falcons. He had 23 tackles and one fumble recovery. He also had seven tackles on special teams.
