Terrell (concussion) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, although he is still in concussion protocols.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell suffered his concussion in the Falcons' Week 2 loss to Tampa Bay and was unable to play in Week 3. The cornerback managed to return to his first full practice in over a week Wednesday and he could be made available for Week 4 if he passes through the league's concussion protocols quickly. Expect T.J. Green to see extended snaps Sunday against Washington if Terrell can't play.

Coach Arthur Smith said Monday that Terrell is still in concussion protocol, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell was diagnosed with a concussion after sustaining a head injury in the third quarter of Week 2. He was unable to suit for for Week 3, and now, his status for Week 4 is in jeopardy. T.J. Green stepped in as the starting corner opposite of Fabian Moreau and registered eight tackles against the Giants. If Terrell is unable to clear protocols, Green will likely draw the start again in Week 4

Terrell (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, according to Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell played 70 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 2 against the Buccaneers before departing the contest in the third quarter, and he wasn't able to recover in time to feature this weekend. His next chance to play will be in Week 4 against Washington, but his availability will depend on whether he's cleared by a doctor and whether he can log a few practices before that game.

Terrell has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a concussion, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell racked up two tackles and two pass defenses prior to sustaining his injury Sunday, and he'll enter the league's concussion protocol ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup against the Giants. T.J. Green is in line to take on a larger role while the 22-year-old is out.

Terrell is being evaluated for a head injury after exiting Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell went down in the third quarter of Sunday's contest, and his status likely depends on whether he's dealing with a concussion. T.J. Green should see increased playing time while the 2020 first-rounder is sidelined.

Terrell, who collected two tackles and a pass deflection during Atlanta's 44-27 Week 17 loss to the Buccaneers, ended the 2020 season with 74 tackles, seven pass deflections, three forced fumbles and an interception.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell started in all 14 of his game appearances after Atlanta selected him 16th overall in last April's draft. The Clemson standout surrendered six touchdowns and a passer rating of 109.6 over 106 coverage targets this season, but he provided value in other areas of his game. The rookie's three forced fumbles ranked second on the team behind only Foyesade Oluokun, while his seven pass breakups represented a high among Falcons defenders this season. As a whole, Atlanta's defense aims to improve upon a 32nd-place finish against the pass, with continued improvement from Terrell playing a key role in that vision.

Terrell registered one tackle and one pass deflection during Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
With the Falcons leading 14-10 at the 2:07 mark of the fourth quarter, Terrell had a pristine opportunity to intercept Patrick Mahomes for a potential game-clinching interception. Terrell got both hands on the ball as he fell backward in the end zone, but he couldn't secure it and the pass fell incomplete. The subsequent play, Mahomes would deliver a 25-yard go-ahead touchdown strike to Demarcus Robinson. Atlanta drops to a record of 2-8 in one-possession games this season, having suffered four straight defeats by five points or fewer.

Terrell collected his first career interception along with a team-high seven tackles during Sunday's 40-23 win against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
The first-round rookie had been a full-time contributor in his first three appearances of the season entering Sunday, playing at least 98 percent of the defensive snaps Weeks 1, 2 and 5. Results hadn't translated in the early going, as Terrell allowed 11 of 12 targets thrown his way to go for completions, surrendering 129 yards and a touchdown on those plays. Sunday he notched his first NFL takeaway, as the Falcons intercepted Kirk Cousins on three occasions. Terrell has missed two games this season while on the reserve-COVID-19 list, but now that he's been able to string together a pair of appearances, perhaps the rookie will settle into a groove under interim head coach Raheem Morris.

Terrell has been activated from the Falcons' reserve/COVID-19 list.
EDGE Analysis
Terrell recorded 11 tackles in his first two NFL games before being placed on the list. The No. 16 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft figures to start at cornerback for the Falcons opposite Isaiah Oliver in his return to action Sunday against the Panthers.
