The Falcons signed undrafted free agent Tony Brooks-James after a tryout during the team’s rookie minicamp.
The team announced the addition of the Oregon running back, opening a roster spot by waiving running back Jeremy Langford with an injury designation.
Brooks-James had 283 carries for 1,863 yards and 18 touchdowns in his four-year career. He also caught 40 passes for 392 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Outside of his offensive duties, Brooks-James returned 44 kicks for a 23.8 yards per return average and a score.
Langford joined the Falcons’ practice squad late last season, and he was later promoted to the active roster. He appeared in Atlanta’s season finale against the Buccaneers.
