Falcons announce practice squad elevations for MNF game vs. Rams

[ASFN Admin]

The Atlanta Falcons have announced their practice squad elevations for Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Edge rusher Khalid Kareem and wide receiver Chris Blair will join the Falcons' 53-man roster in Week 17.

Blair shined in the 2025 NFL preseason, recording nine catches for 197 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The veteran wide receiver has appeared in the last two games for Atlanta but did not record a catch.

Kareem has appeared in 32 games over the last five seasons, recording 37 tackles (19 solo), one sack and seven QB hits. The 27-year-old was also elevated by the Falcons in Week 16 and recorded two tackles against the Cardinals.

The Falcons also ruled out linebacker Josh Woods for tonight's game against the Rams. Wide receiver Drake London has been listed as questionable, and while he's expected to play, we'll have to wait until the inactives list comes out at 6:45 p.m. ET.
