Falcons' Matthew Judon: Makes minor splash in debut
Matt Judon registered five tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.Making his Atlanta Falcons debut, Judon played 46 of Atlanta's 68 defensive snaps. He was quiet for most of the game, but on third-and-13 in the fourth quarter, Judon combined with Grady Jarrett to sack Justin Fields for an eight-yard loss.

Falcons' Matthew Judon: Gets moved to Atlanta
The Atlanta Falcons acquired Matt Judon from the Patriots on Wednesday in exchange for a 2025 third-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.In the final season of his four-year, $54.5 million contract, Judon was seeking a new deal in the offseason, and the situation lingered into training camp. Now that he's moving to Atlanta, there's a good chance the soon-to-be 32-year-old gets an extension of some type while also serving as the top pass rusher for his new squad. In three seasons in New England, Judon racked up 133 tackles and 32 sacks in 38 regular-season games.

Patriots' Matthew Judon: Doesn't practice Monday
Matt Judon was present but not participating at Monday's full-pads practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.The 31-year-old edge rusher is in search of a new contract, as he's set to make just $6.5 million in 2024. Judon missed the New England Patriots' final 13 games last season due to a torn biceps, but the Grand Valley State product logged 28.0 total sacks from 2021-2022.
