The Atlanta Falcons ruled out running back Todd Gurley for Sunday’s Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Earlier in the week, the Falcons signed RB Tony Brooks-James to the practice squad, and on Saturday, Atlanta promoted him to the active roster.

Brooks-James spent time with the Falcons during last year’s preseason but has never played in a regular-season game for Atlanta. The 25-year-old back has only appeared in three career games — all with the Pittsburgh Steelers — where had two kick returns and carried the ball just eight times.
We’ll see if Brooks-James gets any touches on Sunday with Gurley out. Check out his touchdown run with the Falcons during a 2019 preseason game against the Jaguars.
