"Per head coach Raheem Morris, Terrell is "week-to-week" with a hamstring injury. Given this team's vagueness with injury updates and the inherent vagueness of the term, that could mean Terrell's back in time for Week 4 against the Commanders, or it could mean he's set to miss multiple weeks. About the only sure thing is that he's not going to play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers; that's based less on anything Morris said than my certainty that the Falcons won't rush a hamstring ailment."
"Dee Alford was his injury fill-in on Sunday night and held up very well in coverage, even if he had some adventures defending the run, and that work on the outside likely gave him a boost with this coaching staff. I'd expect that playing time is a clue and we should see Alford out there as the starter outside on Sunday against the Panthers, though Natrone Brooks, Clark Phillips (if he's healthy), and CJ Henderson as a practice squad elevation are all reasonable options."
A.J. Terrell is week-to-week with a hamstring injury suffered in Week 2 and is expected to miss the upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers. The Falcons are unlikely to rush a hamstring recovery, so Terrell could miss multiple weeks despite the vague designation. An open competition will determine his replacement, with Dee Alford stepping in and performing well in coverage while showing some run-defense issues. Natrone Brooks, Clark Phillips (if healthy), and CJ Henderson (via practice-squad elevation) are additional options. Terrell had strong early-season play, notably holding Mike Evans and Justin Jefferson in check, and a starting decision should be known by the end of the week.
