Dalman has missed seven games since leaving the team's Week 3 matchup against the Chiefs early with a high ankle sprain. Dalman, 25, had been a key contributor up front since taking on a first-team role; he graded out as Pro Football Focus's third-best center last season.
With his activation today, he'll retake his starting center gig from Ryan Neuzil. His return also eliminated the necessity to roster backup center Matt Hennessy.
Carter's IR-stint was a bit of a surprise after the 28-year-old was placed on the NFL's concussion protocol. He had originally been placed on the team's injury report under the designation of 'illness' after not practicing.
It's still unclear why Carter's concussion required a four-game absence when we've seen several players pass through the protocol within a week, but regardless, the Falcons will benefit from his return.
