We will make appropriate tweaks to the depth chart per Coach Smith on Wednesday of this week, possibly sooner. With Lofton starting the last two preseason games, I would expect that he be named the starter. But again, we'll wait for Coach Smith's decision before we update.
That said, I wouldn't expect any surprises or very much change on the depth chart between now and Wednesday. Remember, though, there is always the possibility of additional transactions.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons today signed free agents, linebacker Tony Gilbert and tight end Justin Peelle and completed the practice squad with the signing of defensive end Sean Conover and running back Kenneth Darby. The Falcons also released tight end Jason Rader and linebacker Tony Taylor.

In 56 career games, Gilbert has totaled 23 tackles (15 solo), one sack and one fumble recovery. He left Jacksonville tied for sixth in team history with 38 special teams tackles. Gilbert is a native of Macon, Georgia and attended Central High School.
Peelle, 6-4, 250 pounds, was a member of the Miami Dolphins from 2006-07 and was coached by Falcons Offensive Coordinator Mike Mularkey who served as Miami’s Tight Ends Coach in 2007. In 93 career games, he has totaled 85 receptions for 614 yards and seven touchdowns. Last season, he set career highs in receptions (29), yards (228) and tied his career mark in touchdowns (two).
Darby, 5-10, 211 pounds, was originally selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the seventh round of the 2007 NFL Draft out of Alabama. After being promoted from the Buccaneers practice squad on October 3, he posted two carries for nine yards and two receptions for 16 yards in his first career game against Carolina on December 30, 2007.
