The Atlanta Falcons suffered two potentially serious injuries during Friday's preseason loss to the Miami Dolphins. Safety DeMarcco Hellams and outside linebacker Bralen Trice each went down in the first half and did not return.

While there's been no official update, the Falcons appear to be on the verge of signing two players to their roster, a possible sign that Hellams and Trice could be headed to the injured reserve list. According to a report from NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the team is expected to sign former Pro Bowl kick returner Jakeem Grant.

The 31-year-old has 100 career catches for 1,140 receiving yards, and can return both kicks and punts. Signing Grant makes sense as the Falcons placed wide receiver Rondale Moore on the injured reserve list last week.

Grant suffered back-to-back season-ending injuries but made the Pro Bowl during his last healthy season in 2021. That isn't the only move the Falcons are expected to make, though.

According to a report from NFL reporter Tanner Phifer, Atlanta is set to sign former Panthers running back Spencer Brown. The 25-year-old appeared in six games for Carolina from 2021-2022, recording nine carries for 43 rushing yards.
