- Falcons bring back familiar face at safety, release DB Benny Sapp III
The Atlanta Falcons announced another roster transaction on Monday afternoon, signing defensive back Josh Thompson and releasing Benny Sapp III in a corresponding move. The team signed Thompson last offseason but placed him on the injured reserve list before releasing him in early September.
The 26-year-old caught on with the Tennessee Titans in 2022 after signing as an undrafted free agent. Thompson appeared in six games that season, playing exclusively on special teams for the Titans. Since his rookie year, Thompson has bounced on around a few practice squads, including the Houston Texans .

Sapp, 24, is also a former undrafted free agent who last appeared in a regular season game for the Green Bay Packers in 2023. He primarily played on special teams for the Packers aside from three snaps played on defense.
On Monday, the Falcons resumed organized team activities (OTAs) without Kirk Cousins or Kyle Pitts . Cousins was a no-show, as expected, while Pitts was battling an injury, per head coach Raheem Morris.
