Batson joined the Falcons' practice squad Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Batson went unclaimed on waivers after being cut Tuesday, enabling Atlanta to add him to the practice squad. He could be elevated to the main roster during the season if injuries strike Atlanta's receiving corps.
Aug 31, 2022 7:07 PM EST
Batson was released by the Falcons on Tuesday, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Batson signed with the Falcons in June after undergoing season-ending knee surgery in October, but he failed to make their final roster. The wide receiver caught five passes for 28 yards while returning two punts and a kickoff for a combined 29 yards. Batson will likely return to the Falcons' practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Batson (knee) was active at training camp and competing for return duties Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Batson suffered a season-ending ACL tear last October while with the Titans. Despite the injury, Batson signed with the Falcons in June and appears to be fully recovered. The 26-year-old recorded 301 return yards over his last 16 games in Tennessee.
Aug 2, 2022 12:10 PM EST
Batson signed with Atlanta on Wednesday just seven months after undergoing season-ending ACL surgery in October, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Batson recorded two catches for 15 yards and one touchdown over four games before being placed on the Titans' injured reserve in mid-October. The 5-foot-8 wideout will reunite with former offensive coordinator Arthur Smith who is in entering his second season as Atlanta's head coach. Batson totaled 12 receptions for 100 yards and one touchdown over 12 games with Tennessee in 2020 and should provide additional veteran depth to the Falcons' receiving corps heading into next season.

Batson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Analysis: Batson suffered a torn ACL during Monday's win over the Bills, so it was only a matter of time before he moved to injured reserve. The 25-year-old finishes 2021 with two catches for 15 yards and one touchdown in four games.
Oct 19, 2021 2:48 PM EST
Batson (knee) sustained a season-ending torn right ACL during Monday's win over the Bills, NFL writer Paul Kuharsky reports.
Analysis: Batson will doubtless undergo surgery and shift to IR in the near future, as will rookie first-round pick Caleb Farley, who also suffered an ACL tear Week 6. Through four appearances this season, Batson secured two of five targets for 15 yards and a score. He also logged two carries for 15 yards.
Oct 19, 2021 9:28 AM EST
Batson has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Bills due to a right knee injury, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Analysis: Batson appeared to suffer a non-contact injury near the end of the first half, and he was unable to put any pressure on his right leg on his way off the field. Marcus Johnson appears to be the replacement as the team's kick returner, at least to start the second half.
Oct 18, 2021 7:21 PM EST
Batson recorded one reception on four targets for two yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Batson was on the field for 25 percent of the team's offensive snaps due to the absence of both A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Julio Jones (hamstring). He still was limited to a peripheral role in the offense, finishing sixth on the team in targets. However, Batson did make his lone reception count by finding the end zone with 16 seconds left in the contest to tie the game at 24. Batson could continue to rotate into the game if both Brown and Jones remain sidelined, but he will struggle for any type of role if either return.
Oct 4, 2021 11:53 AM EST
Batson caught his only target for 13 yards in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Batson had been inactive for each of the team's first two games, though he managed his season debut against the Colts. He was on the field for 40 percent of the team's offensive snaps, but he saw only target that came late in the third quarter. Batson could be active again for a Week 4 matchup against the Jets as the team will likely be without A.J. Brown (hamstring).
Sep 27, 2021 9:45 PM EST
Batson recorded one reception on two targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' first preseason game against the Falcons.
Analysis: Batson served as a starting receiver in the game with most of the Titans' receiving corps sidelined. He made his lone catch of the contest count, hauling in a back shoulder throw from Logan Woodside for a 15-yard touchdown. Batson's cleanest path to a roster spot may be as a return specialist, as the depth chart at wide receiver has gotten more crowded due to the additions of Julio Jones, Josh Reynolds, Marcus Johnson, Dez Fitzpatrick and Racey McMath this offseason.
Aug 13, 2021 9:35 PM EST
Batson did not command a target in Week 17 against the Texans. For the season, Batson recorded 12 receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Batson often filled the third receiver role for the Titans, particularly in the absence of Adam Humphries (concussion). That didn't translate to big statistical production, as A.J. Brown and Corey Davis commanded an overwhelming majority of the targets in the offense. However, Batson saw logged 283 offensive snaps -- over 100 more than his rookie season -- despite playing in only 12 games. He will remain under contract with the Titans in 2021, but will first look to make an impact in their wild-card matchup with the Ravens.
Jan 4, 2021 9:16 AM EST
Batson recorded one reception on one target for 12 yards in Week 16 against the Packers.
Analysis: Batson played 25 offensive snaps as the Titans attempted to erase a big deficit to the Packers. However, that didn't translate to much production, as he was targeted only once. For the season, Batson now has 12 receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown.
Dec 28, 2020 1:30 PM EST
Batson recorded three receptions for 14 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Browns.
Analysis: Batson mixed into the game sparingly through three quarters, logging two receptions and one rushing attempt. He saved his best effort for the Titans' final drive of the game, when he hauled in a toe-tapping contested touchdown from eight yards away. It was the first time Batson has found the end zone in 19 career games, and he remains buried on the Titans' depth chart.
Dec 6, 2020 9:27 PM EST
Batson recorded two receptions on two targets for 21 yards in Week 11 against Baltimore. He also had one rush attempt for four yards.
Analysis: Batson was only on the field for 18 offensive snaps, but recorded multiple receptions for the second consecutive week. His longest gain went for 14 yards, which helped keep alive the Titans' first offensive possession that ended with a touchdown. Batson also took a direct snap from the five-yard line and was taken down just short of the goal line. If Adam Humphries (concussion) remains sidelined for a Week 12 matchup against the Colts, Batson should continue to see an increased role in the offense.
Nov 23, 2020 8:01 AM EST
Batson recorded two receptions for eight yards in Week 10 against the Colts.
Analysis: Batson earned his most involvement in the offense since Week 2, benefitting from the absence of Adam Humphries (concussion). Though his statline was not impressive, Batson was targeted in the end zone and drew a pass interference call that set up a touchdown. Both Batson and Kalif Raymond figure to see increased chances so long as Humphries remains sidelined.
Nov 13, 2020 6:35 AM EST
The Titans signed Batson to the 53-man roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Batson has suited up in three games for the Titans this season, and he logged at least 27 percent of the offensive workload each time. That didn't translate to much production, as he caught just three passes for 39 yards in that stretch. He should handle a similar snap share Sunday against the Bears, as he'll be the No. 5 wide receiver following news that Adam Humphries (concussion) has been ruled out.
Nov 7, 2020 4:35 PM EST
Batson reverted to the Titans' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: The 24-year-old was elevated from the practice squad as an extra player for Sunday's win over the Texans, but he returns to the practice squad after catching his lone target for 13 yards on 20 offensive snaps. Batson has three catches for 39 yards in three games this season, and even if he rejoins the active roster he's unlikely to be a significant factor in the passing game.
Oct 20, 2020 5:12 PM EST
Batson elevated to the Titans' active roster Saturday, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
Analysis: Batson was activated from the practice squad COVID-19 list earlier this week, and he's expected to suit up Sunday versus the Texans. The Texas Tech product has played two games with the Titans this year, catching both targets for 26 yards and adding an 11-yard carry. He'll mainly operate as wideout depth Sunday.
Oct 17, 2020 5:05 PM EST
The Titans activated Batson from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The receiver was placed on the list for either testing positive for the virus or coming into close contact with a someone who had. Batson will resume practice squad duties now that he's been cleared to re-join his teammates.
