Free agent linebacker Will Compton signing with Falcons, per free agent linebacker Will Compton

Earlier in the fall, free agent linebacker Will Compton indicated that he had interest from the Atlanta Falcons, a report subsequently confirmed by NFL insider Field Yates. Now, in the wake of some major injuries hitting the roster hard this past Sunday, it appears Compton is signing.

That report comes to us from...well, Will Compton. That seems pretty reliable, but it’s not clear if he’s joining the active roster or the practice squad. We’ll likely get a team announcement in the next couple of days.
