King re-signed with the Falcons on Friday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
In his first campaign with Atlanta last season, King tallied 10 tackles and two defensed passes over 15 games. He started just once and logged more snaps (159) on special teams than on defense (69). King will likely have a similar role this season since both A.J. Terrell and Mike Hughes are likely to retain their starting jobs at cornerback.

Falcons' Kevin King: Out for Week 17
Rotowire
King (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
The veteran cornerback from Washington likely sustained a concussion in the Falcons' Week 16 win over the Giants and was unable to practice all week, making it no surprise that he's unavailable for Week 17. King must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to return for Atlanta's Week 18 divisional matchup against the Panthers.

Falcons' Kevin King: Gets opportunity
Rotowire
King was elevated to the Falcons' active roster from their practice squad Monday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
King was elevated from the practice squad for a Week 1 loss to the Steelers but reverted after that game. This move will make him a permanent part of the Falcons' active roster, barring him getting released. He'll likely be tasked with bolstering the Falcons' depth in the secondary, as well as chipping in on special teams.

Kevin King: Released by Atlanta
Rotowire
The Falcons released King on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
King worked with the second-team defense in multiple positions during training camp and made a splash during the preseason, but the Falcons kept only five cornerbacks on their initial 53-man roster. Falcons assistant defensive coach Jerry Gray was the secondary coach in Green Bay when King was at his peak, so despite getting cut, it's possible King's familiarity with the coaching staff helps him secure a practice squad deal if he doesn't get a contract elsewhere.

Falcons' Kevin King: Makes impact in preseason opener
Rotowire
King recorded three tackles (two solo), a forced fumble, two pass defenses and an interception during Friday's 20-13 preseason loss to the Dolphins.
King is trying to revitalize his career and took a big step toward securing a roster spot during his first appearance in a Falcons uniform. The 2017 second-round pick started 42 games for the Packers across five seasons but hasn't played since 2021 due to multiple devastating injuries. Atlanta has been rumored to be interested in the remaining free-agent CBs, but if King continues to play at this level, he may put those notions to rest.

Falcons' Kevin King: Signs on with Atlanta
Rotowire
King signed with the Falcons on Monday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
King sat out the 2022 season for personal reasons and then missed 2023 due to a torn Achilles that he sustained during an offseason workout. The 2017 second-rounder will look to secure a role in the Falcons' secondary after recording 29 tackles and a pick in 10 regular-season outings (six of which were starts) for the Packers in 2021.

Rotowire
King (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report.

Packers' Kevin King: Tallies double-digit tackles
Rotowire
King made a career-high 10 tackles (seven solo) and deflected two passes in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
King had numerous opportunities to make plays Sunday with the Bears avoiding fellow corner Jaire Alexander, and although King had a mishap or two, he did not allow a reception longer than 23 yards and recorded double-digit tackles for the first time as a pro. King should benefit from the Packers' first-round bye, as although he played in every game in December, he was limited in practice by a couple nagging leg injuries.

Packers' Kevin King: Ready for divisional tilt
Rotowire
King (Achilles) will play in Sunday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
King had his reps managed all week, but he'll be ready to rock at game time. His afternoon should be slightly easier with Kenny Golladay (hip) ruled out again, but he'll still face the likes of Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola a considerable amount.

Packers' Kevin King: Managing practice reps
Rotowire
King was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice due to an Achilles injury.
King logged a trio of limited practices before suiting up in last week's win against the Bears, so it's too early to panic about his Week 13 availability. The Washington product logged 97 percent of defensive snaps in last week's win, recording four tackles (three solo) and three pass breakups. If King were to suffer a setback, Chandon Sullivan would be in line for the start at cornerback opposite Jaire Alexander.

Packers' Kevin King: Added to injury report
Rotowire
King (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts.
King was expected to return to the lineup after sitting out five games with a quadriceps injury, but his status is in question once again because of an Achilles injury. The fourth-year cornerback out of Washington is still traveling with the team, and the final verdict will be revealed with the inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Josh Jackson likely will start at outside cornerback if King can't go.
