Opportunity found
Matthews signed with the Falcons' practice squad on Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Matthews joined the Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2023, but he suffered a torn ACL during training camp, derailing what had been a strong showing up until that point. The San Diego State product's addition to the practice squad will continue to give him a chance to get on the team's active roster.
