Starr spent the 2016 season in injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury, Tim Gallagher of the Sioux City Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Starr appeared in one game in 2015 but was placed on IR prior to the start of the 2016 season. He'll be looking to bounce back and secure a depth linebacker or special teams position in 2017.

Falcons signed seventh-round OLB Tyler Starr to a four-year contract. The Falcons need pass-rush help, and Starr tied the University of South Dakota's career record for sacks (27). Unfortunately, Starr is a limited athlete (4.94 forty, 9-foot-8 broad jump) and is most likely to help on special teams.
