Getting long-term chance with ATL The Falcons signed Ratkovich to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Impact Ratkovich suffered a torn ACL during a pre-draft workout with the Packers in April. The fullback out of Northern Illinois then went undrafted and did not land his first contract until signing with the Falcons' practice squad Dec. 27. Ratkovich will now get a chance to build on this brief stint while possibly competing with Keith Smith for a starting role this offseason.

Signs with Atlanta The Falcons signed Ratkovich (knee) to their practice squad Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Ratkovich tore his ACL in a private workout with the Packers ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft and ultimately went unselected. He worked out for the Bears at the end of November, but he's finally landed an NFL contract with the Falcons at the end of December, which suggests he's put the knee injury behind him. During his final campaign at Northern Illinois, Ratkovich rushed 98 times for 448 yards and 12 touchdowns.
