Former Kearny HS defensive lineman David Moa was signed to the Atlanta Falcons practice squad.

#Vikings officially add safety George Iloka to the practice squad. He's the third veteran on the team's practice squad, including center Brett Jones and linebacker Hardy Nickerson Jr. Provides some depth behind Smith, Harris, Meadors on active roster.
