Terrell (neck) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell was listed as a limited participant during Tuesday's walkthrough practice, but he upgraded to full activity levels Wednesday. The standout cornerback will be available for Thursday's divisional matchup on the road against Tampa Bay. Across 11 regular season-appearances so far, Terrell has tallied 52 tackles (36 solo), eight passes defensed and one forced fumble.

Terrell (neck) was a limited participant during the Falcons' walkthrough practice Tuesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell tied his season-high tackle total (eight) Sunday versus the Seahawks, but it looks like he may have picked up a neck injury along the way. He'll only get one chance to log a full practice prior to Thursday's game at Tampa Bay, so his name will be worth checking on when Atlanta releases its last practice report of the week Wednesday.

Terrell recorded six tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss versus the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Carolina quarterback Bryce Young threw for a franchise record 448 yards in Week 11, but Terrell seemed to mostly hold his own, and he still hasn't had a touchdown thrown against him this season. His prowess in coverage means opposing offenses often avoid throwing to his side of the field, keeping him from IDP relevancy in most formats.

Terrell (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Bills, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell missed the Falcons' last two games due to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Vikings in Week 2. He received an extra week to rest and rehab from his injury thanks to the Falcons' Week 5 bye, and that extra time has enabled the 2020 first-rounder to suit up for Monday's home tilt against Buffalo. Terrell should reclaim his starting spot at outside corner opposite Mike Hughes, which will revert Dee Alford to a rotational role.

Terrell (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell was sidelined for each of the team's last two contests due to a hamstring injury before Atlanta was idle in Week 5. The cornerback will now have two more chances to log a full practice prior to Monday night's contest against Buffalo.

Terrell (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Clemson product will miss his second consecutive game after sustaining a hamstring injury in Atlanta's Week 2 win over the Vikings. Terrell will get extra time to rest by sitting out in Week 4, as the Falcons have a Week 5 bye. Expect Natrone Brooks and Clark Phillips to see increased reps as outside corners while Terrell is sidelined Sunday.

Terrell (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 against Minnesota and didn't practice at all last week before missing this past Sunday's matchup versus Carolina. Coach Raheem Morris said last week that Terrell is considered "week-to-week," so he's iffy, at best, for this coming Sunday's game against Washington. If he's unable to play again, Dee Alford would likely get another start at cornerback.

Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Friday that Terrell (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell sustained a hamstring injury in Atlanta's Week 2 win over the Vikings and was unable to practice throughout the week, so it's no surprise that he'll be unavailable Sunday. The Clemson product has established himself as of the NFL's best cornerbacks, recording 66 total tackles and six passes defended, including two interceptions, across 17 games in 2024. In his stead, Dee Alford is expected to start opposite Mike Hughes as part of the Falcons' top outside corner duo.

Terrell (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Raheem Morris added that Terrell is considered week-to-week, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, so it sounds like the Falcons are going to be without their top cornerback against the Tetairoa McMillan and the Panthers in Week 3. Terrell suffered the injury in last Sunday night's win over the Vikings.

Terrell (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's game against Minnesota, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell suffered a hamstring injury in the first half, and he will now be forced to sit out the rest of Sunday Night Football. In his place, Natrone Brooks and Dee Alford have seen an increase in snaps in the secondary.
