James Pearce Jr. attends L.A Sparks vs. Atlanta Dream game.
Atlanta Falcons edge rusher James Pearce Jr. may be back with the team for mandatory minicamp this week.
According to FOX 5, Pearce is expected to be in attendance when the Falcons begin mandatory minicamp. However, a team spokesman told FOX 5 that the organization could not confirm that information at this time.
Pearce’s status has been a talking point this offseason after he was away from voluntary workouts while dealing with his legal situation in Florida.
Pearce entered a felony pretrial diversion program in Miami, which would result in his charges being dropped if he completes the one-year plan.
