The Atlanta Falcons signed running back Michael Ford and tight end DJ Tialavea on Friday.

They also waived tight end Beau Gardner and wide receiver Freddie Martino.

Gardner, who was waived with an injury, had signed with the Falcons after being undrafted this year out of Northern Arizona.

Martino had signed with the Falcons as a rookie free agent last year.
