The Falcons waived (injury settlement) wide receiver Colby Pearson in a roster move announced by the team Friday.
The 23-year old was signed last month after he was released by the Packers. He was originally signed by the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of BYU and spent a portion of last season with the team.
