James, a fifth-round pick in 2008 from Arizona State, was eligible to return from his suspension for this week's game at Cleveland.
James played in only one game and did not record a tackle last season.
The Falcons were off on Tuesday and did not issue a comment from coach Mike Smith or general manager Thomas Dimitroff when announcing James' release.
