- Morris said last week he sent McCloud home on an excused absence and noted it was unrelated to the firing of former receivers coach Ike Hilliard.
- McCloud was a healthy scratch for the past two games following his removal from the facility.
- The Falcons signed offensive lineman Raiqwon O'Neal to the practice squad and placed Ryan Hayes on the practice-squad injured reserve.
- Jamal Agnew and Casey Washington are candidates for increased snaps at receiver, as McCloud had 64 receiving yards through four games.
