Joining up with Atlanta Compton signed a contract with the Falcons on Monday, Matthew Paras of The Washington Times reports.

Impact Compton has yet to play this season after being released by the Raiders at the end of the 2021 campaign. The 33-year-old linebacker has primarily played on special teams over the past two seasons, and he recorded one tackle on 32 special-teams snaps over two games with Las Vegas last year. Compton should have chance to carve out a role as a core special teamer with the Atlanta this season.
