"Stick turned in an up-and-down preseason that featured some terrific stretches and some terrible throws. He's the team's third quarterback, and unless they move Kirk Cousins, will probably never see the field in the regular season. If he has to play, the short-to-intermediate passing ability and solid movement in the pocket will allow him to keep the offense afloat for an afternoon, but anything longer than that will be dicey."
"A fixture the past couple of summers, Washington missed preseason action with injuries, which was unfortunate and ensured Nate Carter could push his way past him for a roster spot. Washington can play special teams, blocks fairly well, and offers a physical running style, so having such a well-rounded back a callup away makes a ton of sense for the Falcons. The fact that he knows the offense is a nice bonus."
The Atlanta Falcons finalized a 17-man practice squad with the signing of Ronnie Perkins. The practice squad includes a mix of familiar faces and new additions who provide depth across positions. Stick projects as the third quarterback with short-to-intermediate passing and pocket movement but limited long-term starting upside. Washington missed preseason but offers special teams ability, blocking, and a physical running style as a near-term callup option. Blair brings reliable hands, route-running, and special teams value as the first receiver to be flexed up. Drummond proved dependable on short-to-intermediate targets, and Nash presents as a long-term physical reserve power-slot option.
