The Atlanta Falcons have placed DeMarcco Hellams on injured reserve with a designation to return, indicating he won't be lost for the entire season, but still sidelined.
Hellams, expected to be a significant contributor, will be the team's fourth safety and is noted for his special teams acumen and run defense capabilities.
With Hellams injured, Jessie Bates and Justin Simmons will lead as starters, forming a formidable safety duo, showcasing talent in coverage and ball-hawking skills.
The depth chart reveals that Richie Grant will serve as the third safety, utilizing his pass rush and run stopping skills near the line of scrimmage.
