Key Points:
- The Week 1 depth chart confirms rookie linebacker Kendal Daniels will start alongside Divine Deablo, validating pre-season predictions about his role.
- Rookie Avieon Terrell has been named the starting nickel cornerback, surpassing expectations despite competition from Darnay Holmes and Billy Bowman.
- Terrell's strong coverage skills and ball hawking make him a logical choice for nickel, with potential to start outside opposite his brother A.J. later in the season.
- Daniels, a fourth-round pick, impressed in training camp and preseason, earning the starting linebacker spot over Christian Harris and showing promise despite expected rookie challenges.
- Brian Robinson Jr. is listed as the kick returner, potentially improving Atlanta's return game, while Zachariah Branch remains the punt returner; Tyler Goodson's role in returns remains uncertain.
