The Atlanta Falcons made a pair of roster swaps Thursday including adding a quarterback and a tight end who started 12 games for the Houston Texans.

Rourke, who replaces Paddock in the quarterbacks room, was drafted in the second round of the 2020 Canadian Football League draft. The former Ohio University standout went 307-of-406 for 4,103 yards and 28 touchdowns across two seasons. Thomas, a massive 6-foot-5, 280-pound tight end who played for the Birmingham Stallions in the United Football League this spring, was a sixth-round pick by the Houston Texans in 2018.
