Falcons signed T/G Kirk Chambers. Chambers has 14 starts, mostly of the desperation variety, in 67 games since 2004. He hasn't played a snap since the 2009 season, so the Falcons have to hope he's not needed beyond depth purposes.

Lions signed OT Kirk Chambers and waived/injured OT Jeff Maddux. The Lions are desperate for tackle help as Jeff Backus (pectoral) and Gosder Cherilus (knee) are sidelined. Chambers is a veteran with experience but is a swing tackle at best. The Lions' offensive line woes are a storyline to monitor.
