James Pearce Jr., the Atlanta Falcons edge rusher, participated in mandatory minicamp in Flowery Branch, GA, on June 16, 2026. Pearce, 22, had faced three felony charges stemming from a domestic dispute with WNBA player Rickea Jackson earlier this year. He has since agreed to a pretrial intervention program aimed at resolving these charges, which may lead to their dismissal. This minicamp marks a significant event for Pearce, who missed voluntary workouts in April. He is entering his second season with the Falcons after recording 10.5 sacks last year and being a finalist for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
