News

  • Plays every defensive snap in loss

    Hawkins recorded eight tackles (six solo) in the Patriots' loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: Filling in for an injured Kyle Dugger (ankle), Hawkins made the start and played all 78 defensive snaps versus Miami. Dugger should return at some point in the coming weeks, but with Jabrill Peppers (shoulder) now facing legal issues, Hawkins could get an extended look on the back end. Dell Pettus started in place of Peppers alongside Hawkins against the Dolphins.

  • Bolsters New England's safety corps

    Hawkins has agreed to a one-year deal with the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hawkins split the 2023 regular season with the Falcons (six games) and Chargers (10 games) en route to combining for 14 tackles in that span. The 2020 fourth-rounder did rack up 84 tackles and two picks for Atlanta in 2022, but with the Patriots, Hawkins figures to serve as a depth safety behind Jabrill Peppers and Kyle Dugger.

  • Headed to Los Angeles

    The Chargers claimed Hawkins off waivers Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hawkins will now head to Los Angeles after being waived by the Falcons on Tuesday. The 26-year-old could soon see playing time, with Alohi Gilman dealing with a heel injury.

  • Cut by Falcons

    Atlanta cut Hawkins on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Hawkins apparently took a step back after playing a major role for the Falcons' defense in 2022, and he's mostly been relegated to special teams duties through six games in 2023. Now he's set to become a free agent, leaving Atlanta with just three safeties on its 53-man roster.

  • Could operate as reserve in 2023

    Hawkins currently projects to be a reserve option in the Falcons secondary in 2023, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Hawkins seems destined to back up Richie Grant at strong safety in 2023 after Atlanta signed free safety Jessie Bates in March. Hawkins was a very productive starter in 2022, recording 84 tackles, six pass deflections, two interceptions and a forced fumble while scoring a defensive touchdown over 16 games.

  • Solid as first-year starter

    Hawkins produced 84 tackles (45 solo), six pass defenses, two interceptions, one forced fumble and a defensive touchdown across 16 appearances during the 2022 campaign.

    Analysis: After being a rotational piece in 2021, Hawkins earned a starting gig to begin 2022 and made the most of his opportunity by submitting a productive campaign. He missed just one game due to injury and recorded a career-high 84 tackles and six pass defenses. He also notched multiple interceptions for a second straight season and recorded his first career defensive touchdown. Barring an unforeseen change, Hawkins figures to start alongside Richie Grant to open the 2023 campaign, which will be the…read more

  • No injury designation

    Hawkins doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hawkins was sidelined for Week 8 due to a concussion he suffered in Week 7, but he was a full participant at each practice during Week 9 prep and is good to go for Sunday. The third-year safety has stepped up as a starter this season, posting 43 tackles, three pass defenses, one interception and one forced fumble across seven appearances.

  • Won't play against Panthers

    Per coach Arthur Smith, Hawkins is in concussion protocol and won't play Sunday against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hawkins left Atlanta's Week 7 loss to the Bengals with what was originally deemed a head injury, but the safety appears to have suffered a concussion on the play. Smith ruling out Hawkins so early in the week suggests there's a distinct possibility that Hawkins' absence could stretch beyond Week 8.

  • Records 11 tackles before exit

    Hawkins (head) recorded 11 tackles (seven solo) and a pass deflection in Sunday's 35-17 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Before exiting Sunday's contest with a head injury, Hawkins matched his season high with 11 tackles. The safety was also able to notch his third pass deflection of the campaign in the contest. If he's forced to miss any time with the head injury, Dean Marlowe will likely take over at strong safety.

  • May not return

    Hawkins has left Sunday's contest with the Bengals to be evaluated for a head injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Hawkins will need to enter protocols if he suffered a concussion, which will certainly impact him for the week ahead. While he is out, Dean Marlowe should see extra opportunity.

  • Season-high 11 stops in loss

    Hawkins recorded 11 tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 21-15 loss Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: After operating in a reserve role in each of his first two seasons, the 2020 fourth-round pick has stepped up as a starter during the 2022 campaign. He recorded six tackles and a pass defense in Week 1, but accrued modest results during the following three contests. Hawkins' season-high 11 stops in Week 5 certainly puts him on the radar for IDP leagues, but his increased production could have been due to Mykal Walker, Atlanta's leading tackler, leaving the contest due to a groin injury.…read more

  • In line for starting role

    Hawkins is the frontrunner to start at free safety for Atlanta, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: It was assumed that last year's starter at the position, Erik Harris, had a leg up on Hawkins because he has four more years of NFL experience to bank on. It's not likely that the Falcons re-signed Harris this offseason just for the 32-year-old to play mentor to his junior Hawkins, so it's most reasonable to expect the two to rotate reps even if the latter ends up being the starter.

  • Activated off reserve/COVID-19 list

    Hawkins was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

    Analysis: Hawkins was placed on the COVID list Dec. 29, forcing him to miss the team's Week 17 loss to the Bills. The safety will now return to the team in time for their final contest of the year against the Saints in Week 18.

  • Lands on COVID-19 list

    Hawkins was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Over the last three games, Hawkins has been operating as the starting free safety in place of Erik Harris (pectoral), so his potential absence would be a big blow to Atlanta's secondary. If he's unable to clear protocols ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bills, then Shawn Williams would likely draw the start opposite of Duron Harmon.

  • Could move into starting lineup

    Hawkins could replace Erik Harris (pectoral) as the Falcons' starting safety, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Rothstein reports that Harris is going to need season-ending surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle, so Hawkins -- who replaced Harris on Sunday -- is expected to operate as the starting safety for the balance of the season. Hawkins played every defensive snap for Atlanta and recorded three tackles during the Week 14 win over the Panthers.

  • Available to play Sunday

    Hawkins (ankle) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The fact that Hawkins didn't appear on the injury report is a positive sign since he was unable to face the Patriots last week. Richie Grant has seen extra snaps with Hawkins out, but all signs point toward him returning to the field this Sunday.

  • Missing another game

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

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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 on Thursday.

  • Back-to-back games with a pick

    Hawkins didn't log a tackle, but he picked off a pass during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Hawkins recorded an interception 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Questionable to return

    Hawkins left Monday's game against the Packers in the second quarter with a head injury and is questionable to return, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: 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 Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Off COVID-19 list

    The Falcons activated Hawkins from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Hawkins will count against Atlanta's offseason roster again and is now eligible to join teammates at the early portion of camp. The rookie fourth-round pick could compete for depth snaps when practices ramp up mid-August.

  • Moves to COVID list

    The Falcons placed Hawkins (illness) on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

    Analysis: Hawkins has been automatically placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list due to either a positive test or exposure to the virus. The rookie fourth-round pick is expected to add depth to Atlanta's safety corps and contribute on special teams when available.
