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.
