Falcons add CB BoPete Keyes; could use RB Avery Williams as a cornerback

The Atlanta Falcons injury report is littered with defensive backs, including starters A.J. Terrell, Casey Hayward, and Jaylinn Hawkins. Due to some of the depth issues the team faced against the Bengals, the team added CB BoPete Keyes on Tuesday afternoon.

92.9 The Game Atlanta Falcons Reporter Joe Patrick discusses some of the problems in the secondary and the drastic measures the team could turn to.


"They need anybody who can go out there, and if he still has the skillset maybe it's not the craziest thing to be perfectly honest," says Joe Patrick. "At that position where they've lost so many players, their two top players, now you've got guys who really don't have experience. Even if you are able to use a guy like Avery Williams at cornerback, he's not going to give you experience going against top guys."

Avery Williams, the teams lead punt returner and has seen a few carries at running back as well, began his career at CB, was drafted out of Boise State as a CB, and only made the change to offense this past preseason.
