Sacks Leader Pearce Returns to Falcons for Minicamp Following a Tumultuous Offseason
The rookie edge rusher will avoid trial if he follows a one-year diversion program and stays away from Rickea Jackson.
- On Monday, Atlanta Falcons edge rusher James Pearce Jr. arrived at the team's Flowery Branch facility for a physical before mandatory minicamp begins Tuesday.
- Pearce entered a 12-month pretrial diversion program in May following a February arrest on felony charges stemming from an alleged domestic dispute with WNBA player Rickea Jackson.
- The NFL continues reviewing the situation under its personal conduct policy, though no timeline exists for potential disciplinary action, leaving the team in a holding pattern.
- Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich emphasized the team's focus on available players, saying, "The guys that are here today are the ones we're going to ride with and develop."
- Pearce led all NFL rookies with 10.5 sacks last season and returns as the team prepares for training camp next month after minicamp concludes this week.
