Falcons sign former UFL linebacker, release P Ryan Sanborn
The Atlanta Falcons announced another transaction Wednesday afternoon, signing former UFL linebacker Storey Jackson to their 90-man roster and releasing punter Ryan Sanborn in a corresponding move.
Jackson, 26, spent this past season as a member of the UFL's Arlington Renegades. With the Falcons losing outside linebacker Bralen Trice to an ACL injury, Jackson can help fill in by playing multiple spots and contributing on special teams.
