Leonard Floyd: Everything you need to know

Floyd recorded 19 tackles (six solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one pass defense across 15 games with the Falcons in 2025. Floyd was cut by the 49ers in March in a cap-saving move but quickly inked a one-year, $10 million contract with the Falcons. He logged at least 8.5 sacks in five consecutive seasons prior to 2025 and was set to lead a Falcons defensive front that also consisted of rookie first-rounders James Pearce and Jalon Walker. However, Floyd's defensive snap count and production dipped noticeably in 2025, as he set a career low in tackles while recording the least amount of sacks in a season since 2019 as a member of the Bears (3.0). Floyd is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and while Spotrac projects his annual market value at $8.9 million, it's hard to say whether a team is willing to pay that kind of money for a pass rusher entering his age-34 season.

Floyd (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against New Orleans. Floyd missed the Falcons' last two games due to a hamstring injury, but the veteran edge rusher has been cleared to return for Sunday's NFC North clash. Floyd's return means less defensive snaps will be available for Arnold Ebiketie and James Pearce.

Floyd (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Floyd has missed each of Atlanta's last two games due to a hamstring injury sustained in the Week 9 loss to the Patriots. However, following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to return for Sunday's divisional matchup. If active, Floyd will operate as one of the Falcons' top edge rushers.
