Isaiah Oliver was finally having his breakout year, but a devastating injury cost him most of the 2021 season. Before he went down, Oliver looked like he was blossoming at the nickel spot in Dean Pees’ defense, showing the physicality he’s always brought to the table along with some very strong coverage chops.
Now he’ll get another shot at that role and that kind of breakout year in Atlanta, as the Falcons have brought him back, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
This will hopefully prove to be a great pact for both sides.
