Atlanta Falcons linebacker James Pearce Jr. has been officially moved to the active roster and is set to make his 2026 season debut against the Cincinnati Bengals in Madrid. Pearce, who registered 10.5 sacks as a rookie, missed the first eight games of the season due to a domestic violence suspension. His return to the active lineup significantly bolsters Atlanta's pass rush alongside Yasir Abdullah.
