"The Falcons will soon be adding some depth to their secondary. According to Josh Kendall of The Athletic, the team designated for return from injured reserve today. Fuller suffered a knee injury in Week 1 that landed him on injured reserve. The veteran only required a minimum four-game stay on IR before returning to practice. The team now has 21 days to activate Fuller to the active roster."
"Fuller joined the Falcons on a one-year contract this past offseason. This followed a one-year stop in Carolina, where he started all nine of his appearances while missing a chunk of games thanks to a hamstring injury. The former sixth-round pick spent the first four seasons of his career with the Rams, where he quickly emerged as a starting safety."
"During his final two healthy seasons in Los Angeles (2021 and 2023), the defensive back collected 207 total tackles and four interceptions, with Pro Football Focus grading him as an above-average safety during those two campaigns. While Fuller started Week 1, he mostly played behind in that contest. The rookie third-round pick has since solidified himself in the starting lineup opposite , meaning Fuller is eyeing a similar backup role when he's ready to return."
Fuller was designated for return from injured reserve after suffering a Week 1 knee injury and completing the minimum four-game IR requirement. The Falcons have 21 days to activate him to the active roster. Fuller signed a one-year deal after a one-year stint in Carolina, where he started nine games but missed time with a hamstring issue. He spent his first four seasons with the Rams and started 45 games outside of a 2022 injury-plagued year. He totaled 207 tackles and four interceptions in 2021 and 2023, earning above-average PFF grades. He likely returns as a veteran backup behind the rookie starter, with Billy Bowman Jr. as a likely snap competitor.
