The Atlanta Falcons signed cornerback Grayland Arnold, the team announced Saturday.

The team did not release any further details of the deal.

Arnold, 27, was most recently on the practice squad for two months last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who signed him to a one-year deal.

Prior to that, he had 18 tackles and a forced fumble in eight games in his last full season with the Houston Texans in 2023. He had 33 tackles in 26 career games with the Philadelphia Eagles (2020) and Texans (2021-23).

In a corresponding move, the Falcons released offensive lineman Kilian Zierer, a 25-year-old player from Germany who was on the practice squad of the Texans in 2024 but has not seen any game action in the league.
