The Atlanta Falcons waived former second-round pick Jalen Collins, who had just completed a 10-game suspension for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances.

The cornerback, who was drafted in 2015, started in the Super Bowl last season and made 24 appearances over the previous two seasons.

Collins posted 39 tackles and two interceptions as a member of the Falcons. He was suspended for four games in 2016, also because of performance-enhancing drugs.
