Atlanta Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski provided an update on James Pearce Jr. during Friday's training camp practice. Pearce, recovering from an offseason arrest, is reportedly doing well and adjusting to the team's demands despite missing part of OTAs. He led the Falcons with 10.5 sacks last season. The Falcons are awaiting a possible multi-game suspension for Pearce for a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. Atlanta aims to strengthen its front seven with added depth from players like Jalon Walker, Samsom Ebukam, and Azeez Ojulari if Pearce is unavailable.
