Falcons sign three defensive linemen
By STEVE WYCHE
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Falcons moved to beef up their depleted defensive line Friday, signing three players, including former Carolina defensive tackle Kindal Moorehead.
Atlanta also added defensive tackle Rashad Moore, who has spent time with the Seahawks, Jets and Patriots. Simon Fraser, a 300-pound defensive end in Cleveland's 3-4 front the past two seasons, also was signed and could be moved to defensive tackle in the Falcons' 4-3 front.
The Falcons' defensive line has been depleted over the past few weeks with the release of Rod Coleman and with nose tackle Trey Lewis re-injuring a torn ligament in his knee. Backup defensive tackles Montavious Stanley and Tim Anderson are free agents.
Moorehead is the most experienced of the trio, playing 75 games over the past five seasons with the Panthers.
