FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -The Atlanta Falcons have acquired cornerback Tye Hill in a trade that sends the St. Louis Rams an undisclosed draft pick in 2010.
Hill, the 15th overall draft pick in 2006, missed most of the last two seasons with injuries. As a rookie, he started 10 of 16 games and finished with three interceptions, four passes defended and one fumble recovery.
The Falcons need more experience in a secondary that has two returning starters, free safety Erik Coleman and right cornerback Chris Houston. But in a preseason win last Saturday over San Diego, Houston was beaten several times, including a series in which the Chargers converted long third-down passes.
