Falcons' Lorenzo Carter: Still listed as starter
Carter is listed as one of the starting outside linebackers on the Falcons' official depth chart, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
The Falcons made a huge splash late in training camp by trading for Matthew Judon and signing Justin Simmons. Both newcomers are listed as backups on the depth chart, but that's expected to change as they get more acclimated to Atlanta's system. Carter and Arnold Ebiketie are expected to compete for the other starting outside linebacker spot when Judon is up to full speed.

Falcons' Lorenzo Carter: Rotational role in 2023
Carter finished 2023 with 35 tackles (24 solo), 3.0 sacks, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and one pass defense in 17 appearances.
Despite not missing a game, Carter played less than half as many defensive snaps in 2023 (406) than he did in 2022 (877). Despite a drop in overall tackle numbers, Carter still made an occasional impact as a pass rusher. The 2018 third-round pick has one year remaining on his current deal, and he figures to handle a similar role in 2024, though he could see an uptick in snaps if Bud Dupree signs elsewhere this offseason.

Falcons' Lorenzo Carter: Re-ups on two-year deal
Carter is re-signing with the Falcons on a two-year contract Tuesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Carter logged a career-high 58 tackles while appearing in all 17 games with the Falcons last season, his debut year with the team. He also notched four sacks, an interception and two passes defended along with a pick-six and one fumble recovery. After he emerged as a key edge rusher for Atlanta's defense in 2022, it makes sense for the team to keep him in house.

Falcons' Lorenzo Carter: Pick-six in win
Carter finished with four tackles (one solo) and one interception, which he returned for a touchdown, during Sunday's 37-34 win over the Panthers.
Carter picked off a PJ Walker pass intended for D'Onta Foreman near the end of the first half and returned it 28 yards for a score. Despite playing the majority of Atlanta's snaps, the fifth-year linebacker has only recorded 22 tackles across eight appearances this season, limiting his overall fantasy potential, but he does have 2.5 sacks and a now a pick-six on his resume.
