The Cincinnati Bengals brought Kareem into the NFL with a fifth-round draft pick in 2020. He spent two seasons there before a season apiece with the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears between 2022-23.
Throughout his career, Kareem has made one start in 31 game appearances. He has totaled 35 tackles, seven quarterback hits and a sack. He has also forced and recovered a fumble and defensed a pair of passes.
This transaction comes before the Falcons' Week 13 game against the New York Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. A corresponding move was not announced at the time, so Atlanta has one spot open on its 53-man roster.
