Falcons worked out former Bears 3rd-round pick on Tuesday

The Atlanta Falcons play their 2026 season opener in five days, but they aren't done tinkering with the roster just yet. The team hosted veteran defensive tackle Zacch Pickens for a workout on Tuesday, according to ESPN reporter Marc Raimondi.

Pickens, a former South Carolina standout, was selected by the Chicago Bears in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-4, 300-pound defensive tackle spent just two seasons in Chicago before landing with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025.
