Former Falcons edge rusher returns to Atlanta for workout

Falcons bring in familiar face for workout with one practice squad spot left

The Atlanta Falcons have continued to make roster adjustments following the 53-man roster deadline, with one practice squad spot remaining. According to ESPN's Marc Raimondi, the team brought in former Falcons defensive lineman Khalid Kareem for a workout on Tuesday. Kareem, 28, spent the past two seasons with Atlanta, appearing in six games and alternating between the 53-man roster and practice squad.

Kareem, drafted by the Bengals in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, has made 34 career appearances since being selected out of Notre Dame. The team also signed undrafted free agent Josh Thompson to their practice squad, providing depth along the interior of their offensive line.
