NFL Suspends Falcons' James Pearce Jr. for Eight Games Over Conduct Policy Violation
Atlanta Falcons edge rusher James Pearce Jr. has been suspended for eight games by the NFL for violating its personal conduct policy following his February arrest on domestic violence-related charges. Pearce entered a pretrial intervention program, which could lead to dropped charges if conditions are met. His suspension starts August 30, making him eligible to return in early November. The Falcons will rely on other players during his absence, while Pearce continues preseason activities and focuses on his mental health.
