Falcons Sign Former Colts Safety Ronnie Harrison

The Atlanta Falcons have signed former Indianapolis Colts safety Ronnie Harrison Jr. to strengthen their secondary amid ongoing uncertainties regarding veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins' role and a need for defensive depth. Harrison, who has NFL experience dating back to 2018, played various defensive roles with the Colts and Browns, and his versatility is expected to add value to the Falcons' defense. The signing follows a preseason game cut short due to injury and indicates the Falcons' intent to bolster their defensive backfield as they prepare for the regular season. In addition to Harrison, the Falcons have been actively working out free agents and prioritizing defensive improvements, including adding veteran pass rusher Leonard Floyd and drafting defensive players to address inconsistency in generating quarterback pressure. Meanwhile, former Falcons defensive end Joe Gaziano has signed with the Tennessee Titans, marking his fourth team as he seeks to solidify his NFL career. These moves reflect the Falcons' broader efforts to stabilize and improve their defense ahead of the new season.
