Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Plays depth role in Atlanta
Rotowire
Drummond caught seven of 11 targets for 42 yards across nine regular-season games in 2025. Additionally, he accumulated 110 kickoff-return yards.
Prior to his 2025 campaign with the Falcons, Drummond had appeared in just one NFL game with the Lions in 2023. He logged a career-high 121 offensive snaps and played a depth role in Atlanta's receiving corps, averaging 6.0 yards per reception. The Eastern Michigan product also showed value as a return man late in the season, recording 85 kickoff-return yards across the Falcons' last two regular-season contests. Drummond is under contract through the 2026 season, so he'll likely maintain a similar role next year.

Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Bumped up to roster for Week 12
Rotowire
The Falcons elevated Drummond from their practice squad Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Drummond's presence is needed due to Drake London (knee) being ruled out for Week 12. Drummond will likely serve in a depth wideout role Sunday, as he did after his previous two elevations this season, when he tallied seven total offensive snaps without seeing any targets across Weeks 8 and 9. Since Drummond has now been elevated three times, Atlanta would need to sign him to the active roster in order for the Eastern Michigan product to play again for the team during the regular season beyond Week 12.

Dylan Drummond: Returns to practice squad
Rotowire
Drummond reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Drummond was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins, failing to record any stats while playing six snaps on offense. The wide receiver ranked fourth in snaps at his position behind David Sills (45), Darnell Mooney (45) and KhaDarel Hodge (33). If Drake London (hip) remains unavailable in Week 9, Drummond could be elevated again prior to the team's matchup with the Patriots.

Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Bumps up to active roster
Rotowire
The Falcons elevated Drummond from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Drummond opted to stick around in Atlanta as a member of the practice squad after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Week 8 will be his first elevation of the season, and he would give the Falcons an extra body on special teams and depth at wide receiver if Drake London (hip) is not cleared to play against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Busy day in preseason opener
Rotowire
Drummond caught all eight of his targets for 63 yards during Friday's 17-10 preseason loss to the Lions.
Drummond spent the entire 2024 campaign on the Falcons' practice squad, and the familiarity paid off, as he had a big performance in the preseason opener. However, he hasn't played in an NFL regular-season game since 2023 with the Lions, and there's stiff competition for the final wideout spots behind the returning top guys: Drake London, Darnell Mooney (shoulder), Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge. Given Jamal Agnew's return abilities, he'll likely take the fifth spot, leaving Drummond to compete with Casey Washington, DJ Chark, David Sills and Chris Blair for potentially only one spot.
