Wetzel was signed to the Falcons' active roster Tuesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports. Wetzel has traveled between Atlanta's practice and active rosters numerous times over the past couple of seasons. He will provide depth for the Falcons along their offensive line.

Wetzel has signed a contract to join Atlanta's practice squad, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. The Falcons add veteran depth in securing Wetzel, who has 24 starts (and 42 appearances) across the past four seasons for Arizona and Atlanta. The 29-year-old tackle will settle into a practice squad role to kick off 2020, though he may elevate to the active roster occasionally depending on the injury status of the starting offensive line.

The Falcons signed Wetzel to a one-year contract Wednesday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports. Wetzel was released by Atlanta just two days ago, but he quickly reached a new deal with the team. The veteran offensive lineman appeared in just two games with the Falcons in 2019, and he stands to play a versatile reserve role if he's still with the team once the preseason concludes.

Wetzel was released by the Falcons on Monday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. The veteran lineman dressed for just two regular-season contests during his debut season in Atlanta, after starting a combined 24 games for the Cardinals between 2016 and 2018. With experience at both guard positions and both tackle spots during his five active NFL seasons, Wetzel may prove to be an attractive depth option for a team seeking versatility.

Wetzel (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers. Wetzel won't contribute as a depth offensive guard during Sunday's regular-season finale. The Falcons will instead rely on Matt Gono as the sole backup to Wes Schweitzer.
