Atlanta signed Grant to their practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Due to injuries, Grant hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2021, but he spent parts of August and November with the Falcons and could get a chance to see some late-season playing time over the final four weeks of the regular season.

The Falcons signed Grant (undisclosed) to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grant signed with the Falcons on Aug. 10 to compete for a spot on the 53-man roster during training camp, but he was let go with an injury settlement Aug. 22. He last saw NFL regular-season action in 2021, during which he was selected to the Pro Bowl as a return specialist. If he's elevated to the active roster, Grant would give the Falcons a spark on kickoff and punt returns while also providing depth at wide receiver.

Atlanta released Grant (undisclosed) from the reserve/injured list Thursday after reaching an injury settlement, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grant missed all of 2023 due to a ruptured patellar tendon that he sustained in the Browns' preseason finale against the Chiefs. He was able to catch on with the Falcons on Aug. 10, but he placed on the team's injured reserve five days later due to an unspecified injury. Now that an injury settlement has been reached, the 2016 sixth-round wide receiver will have an opportunity to sign with another team once he is fully healthy.

The Browns placed Grant (knee) on injured reserve by the Browns on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Grant suffered a ruptured right patellar tendon during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs. He was set to serve as the Browns' top kick returner in 2023, but now that he's out for the season, Cleveland will have to look elsewhere to fill those duties.

Grant suffered a ruptured patellar tendon during Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs and is out for the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Grant was expected to be Cleveland's return man this season, but instead, the veteran wideout will need to spend the 2023 campaign recovering. The Browns will now likely turn to Donovan Peoples-Jones and Jerome Ford to handle those duties.
