Raine signed a reserve/future contract with the Falcons on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Raine initially joined Atlanta in May of 2021 as an undrafted free out of Northwestern, and he was extended a similar future/reserve contract at the end of the 2021 campaign. The 24-year-old spent much of the 2022 season unsigned after being waived from IR with an undisclosed injury in September. Raine then finished the season with the Falcons after he was signed to the practice squad Nov. 21. He'll now look to make his NFL debut in 2023.

The Falcons signed Raine (undisclosed) to the practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Raine was previously waived from Atlanta's IR with an injury settlement in early September, and he has gone unsigned since. While the nature of his injury was never disclosed, the 24-year-old tight end appears to be healthy again after linking back up with the Falcons' practice squad. The Northwestern product should have a chance to make his NFL debut as a potential game-day elevation, as starting tight end Kyle Pitts (knee) also landed on injured reserve Monday.

The nature and extent of Raine's injury remains unclear. However, if he clears waivers, he'll revert to Atlanta's injured reserve list, which -- barring an injury settlement -- would end his 2022 campaign. Raine appeared in all three of the Falcons' preseason games but failed to haul in his only target.
