Colby Pearson: Waived with injury settlement
Colby Pearson (hamstring) was waived with an injury settlement by the Falcons on Friday, Jason Butt of The Athletic Atlanta reports.Though Pearson was able to play three offensive snaps in last week's game against the Chiefs, it appears that the 23-year-old had not fully recovered from a nagging hamstring issue. A plethora of options in Atlanta's receiving room made Pearson expendable, and now he will attempt to stick elsewhere in the league. Because the Falcons and Pearson reached a settlement, the 2017 undrafted rookie out of BYU will not land on IR if he clears waivers.
