The Falcons saw their first-round pick and safety Keanu Neal sustain an injury in a preseason loss to the Dolphins, which will cause him to miss some time.
With Neal set for minor surgery followed by a 3-4 week recovery, Atlanta is acting fast, and will reportedly work out free-agent safety Dashon Goldson, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Goldson, 31, is reportedly working out for the Falcons on Saturday.
