FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons have elevated cornerback Keith Taylor and offensive lineman Joshua Gray from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts in Berlin, Germany.
This is Taylor's second elevation of the season after previously joining the active roster for Atlanta's Week 6 win against the Buffalo Bills. Taylor played six special teams snaps in that game. Indianapolis has great offensive and special teams units, so having extra depth at cornerback could be beneficial, especially with starter Mike Hughes questionable for Sunday.
Pro Bowl right guard Chris Lindstrom is also questionable, and the Falcons are likewise bolstering their depth in the trenches. Undrafted rookie Joshua Gray has earned his first elevation of the season. He impressed in the preseason and has the versatility to play several different positions in a pinch.
Final decisions on Hughes and Lindstrom will come prior to tomorrow's game between the Falcons and Colts, which is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET.
Reminder: Every team can elevate two players from the practice squad to the active roster for each game day. A player is allowed three elevations per season. A fourth elevation would require the player to be signed to the 53-man roster.
