Jaylinn Hawkins - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Missing another game Hawkins (ankle) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Patriots, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Hawkins will be absent for the second consecutive game, though he did manage three limited practices leading up to the game. That should bode well for his potential to return in Week 12 against Jacksonville. Richie Grant has picked up some extra work in Hawkins' absence.

Ruled out Sunday Hawkins (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, according to Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site.

Impact The loss of Hawkins should thin the team's defensive depth, though this means Richie Grant might see extended playing time with Erik Harris handling the bulk of the snaps at free safety. It remains to be seen whether Hawkins will be available for the Falcons' next game against the Patriots next Thursday.

Back-to-back games with a pick Hawkins didn't record a tackle, but he picked off a pass during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Hawkins picked off a pass for the second straight game, but his lack of tackle production -- and playing time -- makes him a risky option even in deeper IDP leagues. Erik Harris suffered a shoulder injury during the win over the Dolphins, so if he is forced to miss time, the 24-year-old Hawkins may be in line for increased snaps, which could remedy his low tackle numbers.

First career interception Hawkins had one solo tackle, one pass breakup and one interception during Sunday's win over the Jets.

Impact Hawkins nabbed the first interception of his two-year career, snatching a pass intended for Keelan Cole by Zach Wilson. With Erik Harris (calf) sidelined, Hawkins was called upon to handle 100 percent of defensive snaps. However, Harris will now have a bye week to try and get healthy.

Clear of injury designation Hawkins (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact The 23-year-old missed the past two games while in the concussion protocol, but he progressed to full practice participation Friday. Hawkins should return to his reserve role in the secondary now that he's healthy.

Back on field, with limitations Hawkins (concussion) logged a limited practice session Wednesday, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The fourth-round rookie has been unavailable since exiting Atlanta's Week 4 loss to the Packers with a concussion, but an appearance at practice foreshadows his return as soon as Sunday. Hawkins was not placed on injured reserve, meaning it was likely expected his absence would remain short-term. If he is able to go against the Lions on Sunday, Hawkins will back up Keanu Neal at strong safety in a matchup against the NFL's 22nd-ranked passing attack.

Won't play against Vikings Hawkins (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

Impact Hawkins didn't practice all week and will miss a second straight game as he recovers from a concussion he suffered Week 4 against the Packers. Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen will start at safety Sunday while Sharrod Neasman rotates in.

Misses Wednesday's practice Hawkins was held out for the Falcons' practice session Wednesday, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The rookie fourth-round draft choice had been forced into a starting role Weeks 3 and 4, as the Falcons dealt with a cluster of injuries to the secondary. Hawkins exited Atlanta's Week 4 Monday Night Football loss to the Packers with a head injury, and he has yet to make it back on the field. The 23-year-old will have to clear the NFL's concussion protocol before being able to return to practice. From there, the team can gauge if he's ready for game action.

Won't play Sunday Hawkins (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hawkins didn't practice all week after suffering a concussion during Monday's loss to the Packers, so he'll sit out Week 5. The Falcons' secondary is getting healthy otherwise, so expect Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen to start at safety Sunday while Sharrod Neasman rotates in.

Held out Wednesday Hawkins (concussion) did not participate during Wednesday's practice session, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The fourth-round rookie was inserted into the lineup for his second consecutive start Monday night, as Ricardo Allen (elbow) and Keanu Neal (hamstring) were both inactive going into the game. As Hawkins passes through the league's concussion protocol, the Falcons are left extremely thin in the secondary, causing the team to bring in veteran J.J. Wilcox for a visit Wednesday.

Impact Hawkins is likely being looked at for a concussion. With Damontae Kazee also leaving early in the game due to an Achilles injury, the Falcons will be thin in the secondary the rest of the way.

To see more playing time Week 4 Hawkins can expect to see an increase in defensive usage with Keanu Neal (hamstring) ruled out for the Falcons' Monday night matchup against the Packers, Jason Butt of The Atlanta...

Impact The fourth-round rookie from Cal has fielded a combined 28 defensive snaps Weeks 1 through 3, but he'll be thrust into a prominent role against Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, who boasts a 67 percent completion rate and a 9:0 TD:INT in the early going of 2020. With Damontae Kazee in place as the starting free safety, Atlanta may have typically been afforded the luxury to shift over veteran Ricardo Allen (elbow) for some work at strong safety, but he has been ruled out for Week 4 as well because of injury.

Impressing coach with physicality Coach Dan Quinn said that Hawkins is settling into a strong safety role with the Falcons, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Quinn expanded Tuesday upon the reasons for why he believes the fourth-round rookie is best fitted for such a role. "He's a much stronger player than I remembered from Cal," Quinn explained. "He can play down in the box, he can use his hands on tight ends and backs." Having linebacker Deion Jones back in the rotation last year -- after he missed 10 games during 2018 because of a broken foot -- dramatically improved Atlanta's ability to cover players coming out of opposing backfields. The Falcons improved from a league-worst rank in RB catches allowed (123) in 2018 to a much more respectable standing of 14th best (84) during 2019. Hawkins' addition only supports Atlanta's directive of further curtailing the impact of running back and tight end receiving threats.
