FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons signed defensive end Cameron Sample on Monday, adding depth at edge rusher less than one week after Jalon Walker’s season-ending knee injury. Walker was one of the team’s two edge rushers selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft. Pearce had 10 1/2 sacks last season and his 45 quarterback pressures set a Falcons rookie record. Kaleb McGary announced his retirement after missing the 2025 season with a lower left leg injury. Defensive tackle Zach Harrison, who ended the 2025 season on injured reserve with a knee injury, practiced on Monday after being cleared late last week.
