Falcons consider re-signing Leonard Floyd as injury replacements

The Atlanta Falcons are exploring the possibility of re-signing EDGE Leonard Floyd following injuries to key players James Pearce and Jalon Walker. Pearce is likely facing an eight-game suspension, while Walker is out for the season with an ACL tear. With these absences, the Falcons need to bolster their edge defense, looking to Floyd, who has experience in the team's scheme. Last season, Floyd participated in 49 percent of defensive snaps, recording 19 tackles and 3.5 sacks. Re-signing him could provide immediate support as the Falcons prepare for the upcoming season.
