FLOWERY BRANCH - Ray Buchanan has returned to the Atlanta Falcons. <br>
<br>
The cornerback practiced with the Falcons Monday -- ending a four-game suspension the NFL imposed after he tested positive for anabolic steroids. <br>
<br>
Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said Buchanan will return to his starting spot on the left side of the secondary. <br>
<br>
Juran Bolden -- who replaced the ten-year veteran -- will become the third cornerback in nickel packages. <br>
<br>
Buchanan forfeited more than $600,000 of his team-high $2.65 million salary after he twice tested positive for steroids before Atlanta's season-opening overtime loss at Green Bay. <br>
<br>
He said a nutritional supplement containing ephedrine -- a substance banned by the NFL -- made him fail the test. <br>
<br>
The Falcons (2-3) take on the Carolina Panthers (3-3) on Sunday at the Georgia Dome.
