King re-signed with the Falcons on Friday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports. In his first campaign with Atlanta last season, King tallied 10 tackles and two defensed passes over 15 games. He started just once and logged more snaps (159) on special teams than on defense (69). King will likely have a similar role this season since both A.J. Terrell and Mike Hughes are likely to retain their starting jobs at cornerback.

King has entered concussion protocols and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. King sustained a head injury during the Falcons' first defensive series of Sunday's game. While King is being evaluated for a concussion, safety Richie Grant will fill in at corner alongside starter A.J. Terrell.

King was elevated to the Falcons' active roster from their practice squad Monday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. King was elevated from the practice squad for a Week 1 loss to the Steelers but reverted after that game. This move will make him a permanent part of the Falcons' active roster, barring him getting released. He'll likely be tasked with bolstering the Falcons' depth in the secondary, as well as chipping in on special teams.
