Arthur Smith provides update on A.J Terrell, Jaylinn Hawkins and Dee Alford Hawkins has been formally ruled out of Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers
OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ATLANTAFALCONS.COM
Considered week-to-week Coach Arthur Smith labeled Terrell (hamstring) week-to-week, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Terrell's hamstring injury appears to be more severe than that of fellow Falcons cornerback Dee Alford, whom Smith termed day-to-day. Both cornerbacks were injured in Atlanta's 35-17 loss to Cincinnati. If Terrell can't play against the Panthers in Week 8, that would open up more space for Carolina's No. 1 receiver DJ Moore.

Back in full Thursday Terrell (thigh) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Terrell was forced out of the Falcons' 28-14 win over the 49ers on Sunday with an apparent thigh injury, but his full activity level during Thursday's session indicates that the issue is no longer a concern. The 24-year-old cornerback recorded 28 tackles, five passes defensed and one fumble recovery through Atlanta's first six games, but he'll face the daunting task of covering Cincinnati receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on Sunday.

Exits with injury Terrell (thigh) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Terrell recorded four tackles before picking up a thigh injury at some point Sunday. The 2020 first-round pick totaled 24 tackles and four passes defended over the first five games of the season, and his absence will likely leave Dee Alford to step into an every-down role alongside fellow cornerback Casey Hayward.

Leads team with nine tackles Terrell notched nine tackles (six solo) and a pass deflection in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Rams.
Impact The lockdown cornerback notched a season-high nine tackles, giving him 14 total across two games. Terrell also forced a field goal by deflecting a third-down pass intended for Copper Kupp at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The 2020 first-round pick is one of Atlanta's most disruptive defenders, but unless he can maintain his high-tackle volume, he'll likely be a risky IDP option on a weekly basis.
