The Falcons signed Ratkovich to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Ratkovich suffered a torn ACL during a pre-draft workout with the Packers in April. The fullback out of Northern Illinois then went undrafted and did not land his first contract until signing with the Falcons' practice squad Dec. 27. Ratkovich will now get a chance to build on this brief stint while possibly competing with Keith Smith for a starting role this offseason.
