Atlanta announced on September 30, 2026, that it had agreed to terms with Gervon Dexter Sr. on a four-year contract extension. The agreement came a month after the Falcons acquired him from Chicago for Clark Phillips III and a 2027 fifth-round pick, establishing a longer-term plan for the defensive tackle after his first three Atlanta games.
Gervon Dexter Sr. is listed at DT on the Atlanta Falcons roster checked September 20, 2026. The official source lists the roster status as Active roster (ACT).

Regular-season records. Totals use each recorded season once, even when team splits and a combined row are both shown. Rates are recalculated from the counted totals. A dash means a value is missing or cannot be calculated reliably; these records do not establish complete career coverage. The current-season row is as of the update time above and can differ from the season statistics section, which adds up box scores through the latest recorded final.
