Atlanta already has a pretty deep safety room but reportedly adds another into the mix.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. The Atlanta Falcons are reportedly signing free agent safety Ronnie Harrison,according to ESPNs Adam Schefter on Friday.
Harrison has been active in the NFL since 2018, when the Jacksonville Jaguars drafted him in the third round from the University of Alabama.
Harrison spent two years with the Jaguars before three with the Cleveland Browns. In 2023, he then joined the Indianapolis Colts and stayed there for two seasons.
Through his seven seasons overall, Harrisons has played in 84 games, starting 48. He has totaled 245 tackles, which is good for an average of 35 per season, with 6.5 sacks. He has also made seven interceptions, with two pick sixes, and 25 pass breakups.
Last year specifically, Harrison played in 10 games for the Colts, making two tackles and forcing a fumble.
Falcons defensive line coach Nate Ollie's time in Indianapolis overlapped with Harrison in 2023, though the two obviously worked in different position groups.
This move comes after the Falcons' preseason opener against the Detroit Lions. Atlanta lost, 17-10, in a game that was shortened due to a severe injury sustained in the fourth quarter that required an ambulance.
The Falcons' safety room is already rather packed. Jessie Bates III is a given starter, while the spot opposite of him is up for grabs. Competition there, however, is pretty steeps with veteran Jordan Fuller, rookie Xavier Watts and third-year DeMarcco Hellams.
Atlanta's next open practice is schedule for Monday, with three consecutive on tap before Friday's preseason game against the Tennessee Titans.
