Soul activate Graziani

Philadelphia, PA - As expected, the Philadelphia Soul activated quarterback Tony Graziani from injured reserve on Monday prior to their game with the New Orleans VooDoo.

Also coming off IR was wide out Larry Brackins, while backup quarterback Juston Wood and defensive lineman Felipe Claybrooks were placed on injured reserve, where they will spend a minimum of four weeks. Wood, though, is expected to miss the rest of the season due to a torn ACL in his left knee. Claybrooks is sidelined with a groin strain.

Graziani has been sidelined since dislocating his left shoulder during a Week 7 loss to Dallas. Prior to that, the left-handed signal caller had thrown for 1,352 yards and 28 touchdowns to just four intereceptions.

Graziani helped the Soul jump out to a 4-0 start, but the club has since dropped six in a row.

Brackins had 22 catches for 317 yards and seven touchdowns in five games before being placed on IR with a pulled hamstring.

In addition, the Soul signed quarterback Kyle Rowley to the practice squad while also waiving wide receiver C.J. Johnson.
