The Atlanta Falcons continue reshaping their roster as training camp progresses, with the team taking a look at available talent.
Among the players drawing interest is a well-traveled top-10 pick from the 2020 NFL Draft.
“The Falcons worked out CB C.J. Henderson today, source says. TBD whether Atlanta will sign the former first-round pick of the [Jacksonville] Jaguars, who spent last season with the [Pittsburgh] Steelers after three years with the [Carolina] Panthers,” NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo wrote on X.

Henderson played in just 10 games with Jacksonville before being traded to Carolina.
His three seasons with the Panthers produced limited results.
He then did not see any regular-season action last season after signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In five NFL seasons, Henderson has appeared in 49 games with 32 starts. His career totals include three interceptions, 16 passes defended, two forced fumbles and one sack.
The Falcons made additional roster moves, signing safety Henry Black and waiving wide receiver Makai Polk from their 90-man training camp roster.
The team also recently worked out former Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead as they continue searching for secondary depth.
Atlanta’s willingness to evaluate multiple defensive backs suggests they remain unsatisfied with their current options behind the starters.
