Center guard Peter Konz, who started 28 games for the Falcons since being drafted in 2012, reached an injury settlement with the team on Tuesday.

Konz, a second-round pick, was drafted to serve as the heir-apparent to Todd McClure as the team’s center.

In three seasons with the Falcons, he has played in 39 games. Konz played both guard and center during his career.

With the move, the Falcons reached the league-wide 75-player roster limit.
