The Falcons needed to fill in on both lines, and brought back a familiar face to do that this week.

Via D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Falcons brought back former fourth-round defensive end Malliciah Goodman and signed offensive lineman Kevin Graf.

To make room for them on the roster, the team released defensive end Cliff Matthews and center Trevor Robinson.

Goodman, a defensive end from Clemson, was cut by the Falcons in September and played in one game for the Seahawks before being relased there.

The Falcons were short on the defensive line because of Adrian Clayborn’s knee injury. And with left tackle Jake Matthews not expected to practice today with his knee injury, they needed depth on that side as well.
