The Atlanta Falcons have signed free agent linebacker A.J. Hawk to help fill the void after losing Sean Weatherspoon for the season, his agent said Tuesday.
The 32-year-old Hawk, a veteran of 10 NFL seasons, was released by Cincinnati on April 26, saving the Bengals $1.4 million against the salary cap.
He played just one season for the Bengals, recording 24 tackles and a sack in 15 games in 2015.
