The Atlanta Falcons re-signed defensive tackle Corey Peters to a one-year contract, the team announced Tuesday.
In 2013, the 25-year-old Peters started all 15 games in which he played while tallying 48 tackles (35 solo) with a career-high five sacks and two passes defensed.
Peters suffered a season-ending Achilles’ injury in a Week 16 loss at San Francisco on Dec. 23, but he is expected to be ready for training camp.
Peters (6-foot-3, 310 pounds) was selected by the Falcons in the third round in the 2010 NFL Draft out of Kentucky. He has played in 56 career games, including 53 starts in four seasons in Atlanta. Peters has recorded 140 tackles, nine sacks, one interception, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and five passes defensed in his career.
