FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons signed defensive back Josh Thompson, the team announced Monday.
Thompson briefly spent time in Atlanta last season, signing on during training camp. He landed on injured reserve within a month, though, due to an undisclosed injury and was released before the season began.
The 26-year-old is a former undrafted free agent who joined the NFL in 2022. As a rookie, he appeared in six games with the Tennessee Titans, solely on special teams. He took 83 snaps.
Thomspon has yet to appear in a game since. He was with the Houston Texans before the Falcons brought him to Atlanta the first time around.
To make room for Thomspon on the 90-man roster, the Falcons released safety Benny Sapp III.
