The Falcons didn’t wait long after learning rookie safety Keanu Neal will miss 3-4 weeks because of a knee injury that requires surgery to bring veteran Dashon Goldson in for a visit.
Their timeline remained brisk after that meeting as, per multiple reports on Sunday morning, Goldson is signing with the Falcons.
Goldson made 15 starts for the Redskins last season, finishing the year with 110 tackles, an interception he returned for a touchdown and a forced fumble. He was released in March and had a couple of visits over the offseason that didn’t result in a new job.
Goldson, who previously played for the Buccaneers and 49ers, joins a safety group that also includes Ricardo Allen, Kemal Ishmael and Robenson Therezie while Neal is out of action.
