What happened: Kevin Stefanski said Pearce is handling his business during the opening days of Falcons camp.
Why it matters: As Atlanta's leading pass rusher last season, Pearce carries immediate value to the defense. He missed voluntary offseason work before entering an intervention program in April.
By the numbers: Pearce recorded 10.5 sacks, 16 quarterback hits and 45 pressures in 2025; the 45 pressures set a Falcons rookie record.
What to watch: Watch how his workload develops as Atlanta moves deeper into camp.
