The Atlanta Falcons claimed center Gino Gradkowski off waivers and released center Joe Hawley on Monday.

Gradkowski had been waived by the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

The Falcons also announced that they signed quarterback Matt Simms, tight end Marcel Jensen, offensive tackle Pierce Burton, cornerback Akeem King, nose tackle Joey Mbu and linebackers Derek Akunne, Stansly Maponga and Tyler Starr to the practice squad.
