Linebacker James Laurinaitis is scheduled to meet with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday and Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Laurinaitis was released by the Los Angeles Rams last month, and has also visited with the New Orleans Saints in advance of the opening of free agency on Wednesday.

Paul Worrilow led the Falcons with 95 tackles from his middle linebacker position last season, but is a pending restricted free agent.
