Hesse reverted to Atlanta's practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hesse will return to the practice squad after playing 14 snaps (seven offensive) and logging a tackle in punt coverage. The 28-year-old will now wait and see if he gets another opportunity to appear in a game this season.

EDGE Analysis

Hesse was elevated from the practice squad for Week 1 but garnered a marginal role, and his only noteworthy play was thwarted by a horse-collar tackle on special teams. Coach Arthur Smith loves to have as many tight ends on the field as possible, but Hesse doesn't hold much fantasy value at this point.

The Falcons have elevated Hesse to their active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 1 clash against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Hesse re-joined the Falcons on their practice squad Aug. 30 after being cut by the team at the end of the preseason. He'll provide added depth at tight end behind Kyle Pitts, Jonnu Smith, MyCole Pruitt and John FitzPatrick.
