Falcons sign Colby Sorsdal to practice squad, release James Brockermeyer

The Atlanta Falcons have signed offensive tackle Colby Sorsdal to their practice squad and released undrafted rookie center James Brockermeyer. Sorsdal, a fifth-round pick by the Detroit Lions in the 2023 NFL Draft, spent all of the 2025 season on injured reserve. Brockermeyer, recognized as a standout during training camp, received praise from offensive line coach Bill Callahan before his release. The Falcons also named Michael Penix Jr. as their starting quarterback for Thursday's upcoming game against the Green Bay Packers, marking Penix's return after an injury sidelined him since Week 11 of the previous season.
