Kevin King: Breaking News
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 (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Panthers. After missing Week 17, King will be back in the lineup for Sunday's important game against Carolina, as Atlanta fights for the NFC South title. As a reserve cornerback and special teams contributor, King has registered 10 tackles (six solo), two pass breakups and one fumble recovery across 15 appearances this season.
