FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed Tuesday that edge rusher James Pearce Jr. has returned to the team this week, four months after a domestic violence arrest in Florida.
Stefanski said Pearce will not take part in team sessions yet, and the Falcons have not heard from the NFL about any potential discipline for Pearce. Atlanta has mandatory minicamp practices Tuesday and Wednesday.
NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy told ESPN on Monday that Pearce's situation "remains under review of the personal conduct policy."
