Good to go for Week 8 Alford (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Alford missed the Falcons' Week 7 contest versus the Bengals due to a hamstring injury, but it appears like he'll be able to return to action Sunday against Carolina. With fellow defensive back A.J. Terrell (hamstring) already ruled out this week, the 24-year-old is in line to operate as Atlanta's No. 2 cornerback this weekend behind Darren Hall.

Questionable against Panthers Alford (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN reports.
Impact If Alford's able to play, he'll likely slide into the starting role vacated by A.J. Terrell, who has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury of his own. Alford's injury appears to be less serious, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be capable of playing through it come Sunday.

Limited Wednesday Alford (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Alford returning to practice in any sort of capacity is a great sign for Atlanta as he missed last week. Through his six games with the team he's recorded 15 tackles, one interception and two pass breakups. The cornerback will have two more chances to practice and recover prior to Sunday's contest against Carolina.

Labeled day-to-day by coach Alford (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, per coach Arthur Smith, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Alford exited Atlanta's Week 7 loss to the Bengals due to the injury, but it sounds like he may not need to miss much additional time. His participation level in practice leading up to the Falcons' Week 8 matchup with Carolina should help dictate Alford's availability. The Falcons can ill afford to have him miss much time with fellow cornerback A.J. Terrell (hamstring) labeled week-to-week.

Won't face Bengals Alford (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Alford suffered the injury during Atlanta's Week 6 win over the 49ers, and he played a season-low 11 snaps as a result. He has 15 total tackles, two passes defended and an interception through six games this season, so his absence will leave a gap in the Atlanta secondary. Mike Ford is a candidate to see more snaps in Alford's absence.
