Woods (abdomen) worked out with Atlanta on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Woods hurt his abdomen last December and ended the season on injured reserve. The veteran linebacker had been a starter for Arizona prior to the injury and finished the campaign with a career-high 61 tackles (33 solo), including 0.5 sacks, over 11 games. Now that he's clear of the abdominal issue, Woods is looking to find work with a new organization.
