King signed with the Falcons' active roster from their practice squad Monday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. King was elevated from the practice squad for a Week 1 loss to the Steelers but reverted to the practice squad. This move will make him a permanent part of the Falcons' active roster, barring him getting released. He'll likely be tasked with bolstering the Falcons' depth in the secondary, as well as chipping in on special teams.

Kevin King Latest News
Gets opportunity
King signed with the Falcons' active roster from their practice squad Monday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. King was elevated from the practice squad for a Week 1 loss to the Steelers but reverted to the practice squad. This move will make him a permanent part of the Falcons' active roster, barring him getting released. He'll likely be tasked with bolstering the Falcons' depth in the secondary, as well as chipping in on special teams.
Released by Atlanta
The Falcons released King on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports. King worked with the second-team defense in multiple positions during training camp and made a splash during the preseason, but the Falcons kept only five cornerbacks on their initial 53-man roster. Falcons assistant defensive coach Jerry Gray was the secondary coach in Green Bay when King was at his peak, so despite getting cut, it's possible King's familiarity with the coaching staff helps him secure a practice squad deal if he doesn't get a contract elsewhere.
Makes impact in preseason opener
King recorded three tackles (two solo), a forced fumble, two pass defenses and an interception during Friday's 20-13 preseason loss to the Dolphins. King is trying to revitalize his career and took a big step toward securing a roster spot during his first appearance in a Falcons' uniform. The 2017 second-round pick started 42 games for the Packers across five seasons but hasn't played since 2021 due to multiple devastating injuries. Atlanta has been rumored to be interested in the remaining free-agent CBs, but if King continues to play at this level, he may put those notions to rest.
Working with second team
King is working with the second-team defense to start training camp, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. King started 42 games for the Packers in five years but hasn't played since 2021 due to multiple devastating injuries. It looks like the 2017 second-round pick is getting a chance to prove he's worth a roster spot, but Kendall added that the Falcons may still be in the market for a free-agent cornerback, mentioning Xavien Howard, Stephon Gilmore, Adoree' Jackson and J.C. Jackson are all still available.
Signs on with Atlanta
King signed with the Falcons on Monday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports. King, who sat out the 2022 season for personal reasons and then missed 2023 due to a torn Achilles that sustained during an offseason workout, will now look to secure a role in the Falcons' secondary after last seeing game action in 2021 with the Packers. During that campaign, the 2017 second-rounder recorded 29 tackles and a pick in 10 regular-season outings (six of which were starts).
