"Channing Tindall, who spent last season with Arizona and the three prior to that with Miami, has taken at least 50% of his team's special teams snaps over the past three seasons. He had five special teams tackles in seven games this past season, which was sixth on Arizona despite Tindall playing significantly fewer snaps than the five guys ahead of him."
"You should see more of these kinds of signings, as the Falcons were disastrously bad on special teams in 2025, including some embarrassing efforts covering kicks and punts alike. Tindall's history to this point suggests a sure-tackling option with good instincts on special teams, and the Falcons need that."
"Right now, though, I'd pencil him in as summer competition for the fourth inside linebacker role and a prominent role on coverage units if he does make the team."
The Falcons signed Channing Tindall, a linebacker who previously played for Arizona and Miami. Tindall is valued primarily for his special teams contributions, having taken at least 50% of his team's special teams snaps over the past three seasons and recording five special teams tackles in seven games with Arizona. He recorded over 100 special teams snaps last season compared to just four defensive snaps. The Falcons struggled significantly on special teams in 2025, making this signing a targeted response to coverage and kick-return issues. Tindall played linebacker and edge rusher at Georgia and possesses athletic ability that could allow for expanded defensive roles, though he is expected to compete for the fourth inside linebacker position and serve prominently on coverage units.
