Means and Charles Harris are expected to be the second-string defensive ends for the Falcons this season, Matthew Tabeek of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old has been with the Falcons nearly two years now, but his anticipated role for this upcoming season is perhaps involved as ever, as he hopes to build on a career-high 15 percent defensive snap share from 2018. Means was unable to suit up for a single game last season because of a ruptured Achilles suffered during offseason workouts, but now it appears that he is well on his way towards earning a backup position along the Falcons' defensive line for 2020.
