Falcons Work Out Nine Players Including Dorsett

Former Steelers linebacker Kwon Alexander is reportedly close to returning to the NFL after tearing his Achilles in 2023, recently completing a workout with the Atlanta Falcons as they seek to bolster their roster. Alexander, who had a productive previous season, has been rehabilitating extensively and could generate interest from other teams if his workout proves successful. Meanwhile, the Falcons also worked out nine players including first-round picks Phillip Dorsett and John Ross, and cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon, who had a strong season with the Rams last year. Witherspoon's familiarity with Falcons head coach Raheem Morris may enhance his chances of being signed. The Falcons are evaluating their options to improve depth, particularly at the cornerback position. The Jets, on the other hand, hosted seven offensive linemen for workouts, including center Connor McGovern, who rejoined the team after testing free agency.
