The Atlanta Falcons announced the signing of punter Matt Wile and the release of offensive lineman John Wetzel on Saturday.

Starting punter Matt Bosher was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans after showing up on Friday's injury report with a groin injury. Wile filled in for Bosher in Week 3 and did well with the lone opportunity he had, forcing the Indianapolis Colts to start at their own 7-yard line.

The Falcons will kickoff against the Texans at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. For information on how to watch the game, click here.
