    The Atlanta Falcons prepared for the possible loss of projected starting free safety Dwight Lowery for the season by adding a veteran safety to the mix.

    Tyrell Johnson (6-feet, 207 pounds), who last played for the Detroit Lions, signed with the Falcons on Sunday, a day after coach Mike Smith confirmed Lowery suffered a concussion.
