Falcons' Samson Ebukam: Signs with Atlanta
The Falcons signed Ebukam on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ebukam turns 31 years old in May and missed the entire 2024 season due to a torn Achilles. He appeared in 14 regular-season games with the Colts last season, logging 33 tackles (22 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery on just 43 percent of the defensive snaps. He'll try to help Atlanta's pass rush next season.

Colts' Samson Ebukam: Has down season
Ebukam recorded 33 tackles (22 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery in 14 regular-season games with Indianapolis in 2025.
After missing the entire 2024 season with a torn Achilles, Ebukam posted mostly disappointing numbers in 2025, including his lowest season sack total since his rookie year back in 2017. He'll turn 31 in May, but it's still possible that being another year removed from the Achilles injury could help his production rebound in 2026. He's in line to become a free agent during the offseason.
