Falcons place CB A.J. Terrell on IR, sign DL Zach Harrison
The Falcoholic • • sports
Key Points:
- The Atlanta Falcons placed top cornerback A.J. Terrell on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games and creating a significant defensive challenge.
- Veteran C.J. Henderson will step into the starting cornerback role opposite Mike Hughes, though a drop-off in performance is expected against top wide receivers.
- The Falcons signed defensive lineman Zach Harrison to the active roster, hoping he can return to form after missing much of last season due to injury.
- Harrison's return could strengthen a Falcons defensive line that has performed better than expected in the first two weeks of the season.
- The team faces a critical period of adjustment on defense while hoping Terrell’s injury is short-term and the team can maintain competitiveness.
