Ronnie Perkins, a former third-round pick, has been signed by the Falcons after the release of DJ Chark. His career has been hindered by injuries, as he did not play during his rookie season and spent significant time on injured reserve in subsequent years. In 2023, Perkins played his only healthy season with the Broncos, recording 13 tackles. He performed better in the UFL before sustaining another injury. Perkins will hope to make a positive impression in the upcoming preseason game to earn a place on the practice squad.
Injuries have defined his career, as Perkins spent significant time on injured reserve from his rookie season onward, limiting his opportunities to showcase his skills.

He had more success in the UFL, recording 3.5 sacks before another injury sidelined him, drawing the attention of Falcons scouts.
