One of the Atlanta Falcons’ newest linebackers, Justin Durant, signed on March 10 after having one of his best pro seasons cut short in 2014 while with the Dallas Cowboys. The nine-year veteran saw his season end in Week 8 when he suffered a bicep tear.
Durant was flourishing in the absence of Sean Lee with a team-leading 49 tackles and was named defensive captain. Coming off the injury, he is happy to get back to what he loves during OTAs.
“It felt great,’’ he said after joining his new team on the field Tuesday.
