Aaron Wilson tweeted Tuesday, “Falcons place Micah Abernathy on IR, promote Matt Hennessy to 53, signed Dane Cruikshank and Coy Cronk to practice squad.”
Cronk is now a call-up away from the Falcons’ gameday roster. Atlanta sits in pretty fancy shape through six games, owning a 4-2 record and battling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for control of the NFC South.

<p>Minnesota cut ties with Cronk in April, waiving the OT with an injury designation, though no details of the ailment were revealed at the time. It took some time to find new employment, but he’ll remain in the NFC with the Falcons, a club the Vikings play in eight weeks.</p>
