TE added to practice squad

The team is reporting that it has released T Daren Heerspink from the practice squad and has signed TE Drew Atchison to take his place.

Atchison (6'6", 255 lbs.) was an undrafted rookie free agent out of William and Mary this past April. He was signed by Dallas but later released.

Here is an excerpt from Atchison's SI.com draft profile:
ANALYSIS: Atchison is a solid pass-catcher with reliable hands and a sense of timing. He offers potential as a third tight end in a west coast system.
Here is what the team's practice squad looks like now:
  1. CB Will Billingsley
  2. RB Lex Hilliard
  3. TE Matthew Mulligan
  4. LB Tyson Smith
  5. WR Anthony Armstrong
  6. DT Anthony Toribio
  7. LB Rob Ninkovich
  8. TE Drew Atchison
