DeMarcco Hellams - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Return not near Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Monday that Hellams (ankle) is still "weeks away" from returning, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 2023 seventh-round pick out of Alabama has yet to suit up for the Falcons this season after sustaining an ankle injury in early August that landed him on injured reserve. Morris' comments Monday indicate that Hellams still has a long way to go in his recovery process, so expect Richie Grant to continue serving as Atlanta's top reserve safety for the foreseeable future.

Missing Week 18 Hellams (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Hellams was held out of practice all week after sustaining a concussion in the Falcons' Week 17 loss to the Bears, so it's no surprise that the 2023 seventh-round pick won't suit up Sunday. Richie Grant is expected to see more work in Atlanta's secondary with Hellams missing the team's Week 18 affair.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in Sunday's loss Hellams recorded six total tackles (all solo) in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Bears.

Impact The rookie out of Alabama has seen increased time on the Falcons' defense since taking over the starting strong safety duties from Richie Grant in Week 15. Hellams has started four games for Atlanta thus far, logging 28 total tackles, including one tackle for loss in those starts. Expect the 2023 seventh-round pick to continue starting in the Falcons' secondary in a must-win Week 18 game against the Saints.
