Three-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Za’Darius Smith is coming out of a brief retirement to join the Atlanta Falcons, the team announced on Tuesday. It will be a one-year deal, a team source confirmed.

The Atlanta Falcons opened the Stefanski era Friday night against the Denver Broncos in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the preseason opener for both teams. There have been better debuts. The Broncos won 27-7 as Atlanta posted nearly as many punts (eight) and penalties (nine) as first downs (11).
