Terms of the deal with Stecker weren't disclosed Tuesday.

The Falcons were without fullback Ovie Mughelli and backup running back Jerious Norwood because of injuries in Sunday's 37-21 loss at Dallas.

Stecker played nine seasons in the NFL, including five seasons with the Saints from 2004 to 2008.

The Falcons also placed rookie safety William Moore, a second-round draft pick from Missouri, on season-ending injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Cornerback Glenn Sharpe was put on the practice squad-injured list, and safety Eric Brock was signed to the practice squad.
