The Atlanta Falcons re-signed cornerback Michael Lee on Wednesday and waived/injured nose tackle Ricky Heimuli.
Lee was released last Wednesday to make room for nose tackle Derrick Hopkins.
The 6-foot, 183-pound Lee was originally signed by the Falcons as a college free agent following the 2015 NFL Draft out of Fort Valley State. He recorded 41 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions and eight passes defensed during his senior season. He spent three seasons at the University of Massachusetts, where he tallied 54 tackles, four tackles for loss, two interceptions and 11 passes defensed.
The 6-4, 314-pound Heimuli was originally signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars as a college free agent out of Oregon following the 2014 draft. He was signed by the Falcons and placed on the practice squad on Nov. 18.
