Atlanta makes changes to practice squad ahead of Week 11 matchup vs. Carolina Panthers.
The Atlanta Falcons made a few changes to their 16-man practice squad on Tuesday, signing defensive lineman Ben Stille while releasing offensive lineman Raiqwon O’Neal and long snapper Zach Triner, per team reporter Terrin Waack.
Stille, a former undrafted free agent out of Nebraska, has recorded 17 tackles (seven solo), three QB hits and two sacks in 18 career NFL games (one start). The 27-year-old spent training camp with the Miami Dolphins but did not make the roster.
Last season, Stille appeared in three games for the Arizona Cardinals. He also spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns over the last two seasons.
The Falcons signed O’Neal to the practice squad after working him out late in October. Triner was signed last week as an emergency backup for long snapper Liam McCullough. Check out the team’s updated 53-man roster and practice squad entering Week 11 below.

The Falcons will face the Carolina Panthers at home in Week 11. The Panthers shut out the Falcons back in Week 3, prompting the team to fire wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard after the game. If Atlanta loses again to its NFC South rivals, more coaching changes could follow.
