The likely Hall of Famer is back for his 14th NFL season at the age of 36. After 11 years with the Colts, Freeney has become something of a nomad later in his career. He played two years in San Diego, a year in Arizona and will play for Atlanta this season. He totaled eight sacks last year, his best number since 2011. Freeney ranks 19th on the NFL's all-time sacks list with 119½. With two more he will equal Clyde Simmons at No. 18.
Arthur Jones has run into a rough patch recently and will start this season serving a four-game suspension for a performance-enhancing drug violation.
