The Falcons have promoted punter Matt Wile to their active roster ahead of their Week 3 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts.

This move comes one day after starting punter Matt Bosher was ruled out for the game due to a groin injury. Coach Dan Quinn explained Friday that Wile will handle all of Bosher's roles against the Colts.

In a corresponding move, the Falcons have waived offensive lineman John Wetzel.
