Ryan Neuzil moves up to number 1 in the center position

After signing as an undrafted free agent from Appalachian State in 2020, Neuzil worked his way up the ranks to the No. 2 center position. He started four games last season.

“It felt good,” Neuzil said of the game against the Chiefs. “We got going towards the end. We just had to finish it off at the end.”

Neuzil didn't see what was happening when the Falcons were stopped on fourth-and-2 and everything was on the line.

“Yeah, I'll have to see the movie,” Neuzil said. “I'm not really sure.”

The Falcons also promoted guard Elijah Wilkinson from the practice squad to the active roster. He started nine games at left guard in 2022. Center/guard Matt Hennessy was also promoted to the practice squad.

Here's a look at the Falcons' official 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, which begins at 1 p.m. at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
