Justin Shaffer: Activated to practice squad
Shaffer (undisclosed) was restored to the Falcons' practice squad from their practice squad injured list Wednesday.
Shaffer was placed on Atlanta's practice squad injured list Nov. 21 with an undisclosed issue but has presumably recovered and is now eligible for elevation. The Georgia product was a sixth-round pick by the Falcons in this year's draft and could see some time on the NFL roster over the final two weeks since Atlanta has been eliminated from playoff contention. With guards Chuma Edoga (knee) headed for IR and Jalen Mayfield (back) out for the season, there is some need for depth along Atlanta's offensive line.

Shaffer, who was placed on Atlanta's practice squad injured reserve list in November due an unspecified issue, is now slated to resume practicing following Wednesday's transaction.

Falcons' Justin Shaffer: Stays in Peach State
The Falcons selected Shaffer in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 190th overall.
Shaffer is the first Georgia Bulldog to be selected by the Falcons in quite some time. He started every game for the national champions at left guard in 2021 and earned second-team All-SEC honors. Shaffer isn't overly athletic but has solid play strength and can hold his own on the interior.
