The Atlanta Falcons' edge rusher, James Pearce, is not expected to attend the first day of the team's offseason program. He is facing several criminal charges related to his arrest in February, including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fleeing and eluding police, and resisting an officer with violence. The NFL is reviewing the case but has not yet placed him on paid leave. It is unclear if he will return to the team before the matter is resolved.
