Kevin Stefanski hints at when Falcons will address James Pearce’s future

It wasn't the answer many were looking for, but it may have provided a timeline for when the Atlanta Falcons will finally address the future of defensive end James Pearce Jr. When asked whether the embattled second-year player would attend next week's minicamp, head coach Kevin Stefanski replied, "I'll deal with next week next week." While the comment postpones a definitive answer from today's media session, it also suggests the organization expects to address Pearce's status when minicamp begins next week.
