Atlanta Falcons host former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Zacch Pickens

The Atlanta Falcons hosted defensive tackle Zacch Pickens for a workout on Tuesday. The team continues to adjust its roster ahead of its 2026 season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers in five days. Pickens, a former third-round pick by the Chicago Bears in the 2023 NFL Draft, played for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025. Over three seasons, he has recorded 44 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 29 games. The Falcons recently acquired defensive tackle Gervon Dexter via trade, though the team currently lists LaCale London as a reserve behind the starting defensive line. Atlanta has not yet announced a formal contract agreement with Pickens following the Tuesday session.
