Falcons release Melton, sign Pruitt

September 13, 2004

The Atlanta Falcons today announced that they have released LB Terrence Melton and re-signed S Etric Pruitt.

Pruitt, 6-0, 196, was released by the Falcons on Saturday, September 11 after making the team’s final roster out of training camp. Pruitt was the Falcons’ sixth round draft pick in 2004.

Melton, 6-1, 235, was signed off the Falcons’ practice squad on Saturday, September 11 prior to the season opener at San Francisco on Sunday, September 12. Melton played on special teams against the ***** in the Falcons’ 21-19 victory.

Yeah, we're so filled w/ injuries in the secondary and LBs that we have to pick players up weekly from our practice squad and pray no one gets hurt again. We should be getting Duncan and Hall back in a few weeks which would greatly help our already desperate depth situation.

We have little depth on defense, especially with those key injuries, and there really isn't a lot of experience at Safety behind out starters either.

We're pretty thin at depth on the defensive side, too. Only five freakin' linebackers, and one (Pisa Tinoisamoa #50, keep an eye out for him) is already hurt. Thank gawd he'll be coming back this week.

And please, don't mention Jamie Duncan's name around here. :D

Make that two. Trev Faulk tore his hamstring.
