In his first season with the Falcons, the fifth-year wideout hauled in 25 catches for 230 yards but didn't record a touchdown across 15 appearances. He's set to become a free agent this offseason, but it's unclear what type of market he will draw or if Atlanta will be interested in a reunion. Barring Calvin Ridley (personal) returning to the team in 2022, Atlanta will likely be in search of weapons to pair with 2021 first-round pick Kyle Pitts, so a potential return to the Falcons isn't out of the question for Sharpe.

Atlanta activated Sharpe (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: The Falcons will get two of their key pass catchers in Sharpe and tight end Hayden Hurst back ahead of Sunday's season finale against Saints, after both sat out the Week 17 loss to the Bills upon testing positive for the virus.

Sharpe (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: It's hardly a surprise Sharpe isn't suiting up after sitting out practice this week and being labeled doubtful. Olamide Zaccheaus should be more involved in Atlanta's passing game versus Detroit in his absence.
Dec 26, 2021 8:44 AM EST
Sharpe (foot) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: Sharpe wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week while nursing the foot injury, but the Falcons haven't completely closed the door on him playing Sunday. That said, unless he shows more improvement than expected when he's re-evaluated early Sunday, Sharpe will likely wind up on the inactive list for the first time all season. Sharpe has taken on an increased role on offense since Calvin Ridley went on personal leave Week 7, but the expected absences of both players this week should clear the way for Olamide Zaccheaus to serve as quarterback Matt Ryan's top option at outside receiver, while Russell Gage works out of the slot. Kyle Pitts could also pick up more snaps while lining up out wide, which would allow him and fellow tight end Hayden Hurst to share the field more often.
