This move lends a little breathing room in the aftermath of KJ Wright's return from a knee scope.

There is still a lot of roster churn going on around the league today.

Sucks that McKissic will be out 8 games. Hope Prosise can stay healthy.

Grace has been waived by the Falcons, Colts and Browns. He did play 5 games with the Falcons. Good to have added a little depth at LB

I was surprised that McK wasn't IR'd right off the rattle. However, we don't know precisely how severe his injury is

A player must first be put on the active 53 before IR if they want that player to return. Maxwell will not be eligible to return in 8 games like McKissic will. Max can be given an injury settlement and then be released. Jamarco Jones is done for the season and will likely remain with the team for a chance to return next year.

BOTTOM LINE Grace has the athleticism play speed to carry him around the field and to the ball, but he could be hard-pressed to find an NFL team who is willing to draft him considering his lack of functional weight. He was a linebacker coming out of high school so it is unlikely that a team will see him as a hybrid safety/linebacker on the next level. His cover skills and special teams ability will have to be sharp to open a door in camp to make a roster.

The Hawks seems to be collecting a group of excellent special teamers. I like the emphasis.

Well you can not IR until the final roster comes out. Still thinking they still have sum what long-term plans for him.

Those broken foot issues can plague guys for a long time if they don't get a chance to heal completely, hell Marshall is coming of one from two years ago, so many small bones in hands and feet and where they can be usable they can be painful as well especially under stress.
