Falcons' Kevin King: Returning to Atlanta
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.

Falcons' Kevin King: Good to go for Week 18
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.

Falcons' Kevin King: Out for Week 17
King (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
The veteran cornerback from Washington likely sustained a concussion in the Falcons' Week 16 win over the Giants and was unable to practice all week, making it no surprise that he's unavailable for Week 17. King must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to return for Atlanta's Week 18 divisional matchup against the Panthers.

Falcons' Kevin King: Enters concussion protocols
King has entered concussion protocols and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
King sustained a head injury during the Falcons' first defensive series of Sunday's game. While King is being evaluated for a concussion, safety Richie Grant will fill in at corner alongside starter A.J. Terrell.

Falcons' Kevin King: Won't return in Week 11
King (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Denver, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
King was hurt in the first quarter and was initially deemed questionable to return after entering concussion protocol. The veteran cornerback was then ruled out early in the second quarter. King's absence further depletes a Falcons secondary that entered Sunday already without fellow cornerbacks Dee Alford (hamstring), Antonio Hamilton (pectoral) and Mike Hughes (neck). Richie Grant has entered Sunday in King's stead.

Falcons' Kevin King: Gets opportunity
King was elevated to 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 after that game. 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: 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.

Falcons' Kevin King: 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.

Falcons' Kevin King: 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.

Falcons' Kevin King: Signs on with Atlanta
King signed with the Falcons on Monday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
King sat out the 2022 season for personal reasons and then missed 2023 due to a torn Achilles that he sustained during an offseason workout. The 2017 second-rounder will look to secure a role in the Falcons' secondary after recording 29 tackles and a pick in 10 regular-season outings (six of which were starts) for the Packers in 2021.
