Falcons announce signings of LB Corey Nelson and S Keith Tandy. Falcons already lost starting strong safety Keanu Neal for the season with a torn ACL. Now they await word on the status of middle linebacker Deion Jones coming off a foot injury. If Jones misses anytime it would be significant considering the impact he has on the defense with his speed and coverage ability. When Jones sat out in preseason, WLB Duke Riley stepped in at MLB. Nelson known more as a WLB. Coach Dan Quinn said he was first looking at Damontae Kazee and newcomer Jordan Richards to replace Neal so we will see how things play out with the addition of Tandy.
