What happened: The Falcons coach declined to discuss the length of Pearce's suspension. The ban begins Aug. 30.

Why it matters: Atlanta will be without its edge rusher for the first half of the regular season. The case stems from a Feb. 7 dispute in Florida.

By the numbers: The ban removes Pearce for 47% of Atlanta's 17-game schedule.

What to watch: Atlanta must set its edge rotation before the regular-season opener.
