FLOWERY BRANCH -- The Falcons signed former Miami linebacker Jermaine Grace on Thursday.

Grace, who's 6-foot-1, 210 pounds, was the Hurricanes' leading tackler (79) in 2015. He was dismissed along with defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad on Aug. 27 after he was accused of violating NCAA rules in a highly publicized luxury car-rental case and didn't play last season.
