Falcons waive Jalen Collins, a one-time second-round pick
The Falcons waived cornerback Jalen Collins, a second-round pick in 2015, who served a 10-game suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs, on Tuesday.
Collins has seen action in 24 games, with eight starts, over two seasons.
Last season, he recorded two interceptions and 31 total tackles – 28 solo, and 10 passes defensed.
He was suspended for four games to start the 2016 season, but ended up starting in Super Bowl LI.
