Overview

• Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Henderson has agreed to terms with the Falcons pending a physical.
• He is expected to challenge for a backup role behind starters AJ Terrell and Mike Hughes in a secondary that includes Dee Alford and Clark Phillips.
• His coverage struggles in Carolina and a neck injury that landed him on injured reserve with the Steelers last season limited his on-field contributions.
• Henderson worked out for the Steelers recently, drew interest from several clubs and now seeks to reignite his stalled career in Atlanta.
• The one-year, low-cost pact aligns with the Falcons’ sub-$5 million cap space and maintains room for further roster moves.
