Solid showing Sunday
Terrell recorded six tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss versus the Panthers.
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.

Good to go against Buffalo
Terrell (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Bills, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
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.

Analysis: The Clemson product will miss his second consecutive game after sustaining a hamstring injury in Atlanta's Week 2 win over the Vikings.

Still not practicing
Terrell (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
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.

Will be sidelined in Week 3
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.
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.
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 Tetairoa McMillan and the Panthers in Week 3. Terrell suffered the injury in last Sunday night's win over the Vikings.

Dealing with hamstring injury
Terrell (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Vikings, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Terrell pulled up lame with an apparent hamstring injury in the second quarter, and it's now unclear if he'll be able to return to action in Week 2. In his absence, Natrone Brooks and Dee Alford stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback.

Terrell recorded seven total tackles (six solo) and one interception in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: The Clemson product finished tied as the Falcons' second-leading tackler Sunday, trailing only Kaden Elliss' 11-stop effort.

Analysis: The deal includes $65.8 million guaranteed and makes Terrell the second-highest paid cornerback on an annual basis at $20.25 million, trailing only the Packers' Jaire Alexander, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com. Terrell, whom the Falcons took 16th overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, was a second-team All-Pro selection in 2021, when he recorded career highs in tackles (81), pass breakups (16) and interceptions (three).

Forces zero turnovers in 2023
Terrell finished 2023 with 45 tackles (34 solo) and 11 pass defenses in 17 appearances.
Analysis: Terrell is considered one of the best cover cornerbacks in the league, but he's struggled to generate production the last two seasons, especially in the playmaking department. After totaling four interceptions and four forced fumbles across his first two NFL seasons, the 2020 first-round pick has recorded just one fumble recovery over the last two campaigns. As long as that trend continues, Terrell is a better player in real life than fantasy. Atlanta exercised the fifth-year team option for…read more

Clears protocol, available Sunday
Terrell was removed from Atlanta's injury report and has been upgraded to available for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after clearing concussion protocol, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Terrell was removed from last week's 13-8 win over the Jets after sustaining a concussion in the first quarter, but he advanced quickly through the NFL's five-step protocol for head injuries and shouldn't face any limitations with his snap count Sunday. The shutdown corner hasn't been tested too much this season and as a result has recorded just 32 tackles and zero interceptions over his 12 appearances.

Questionable for Sunday
Terrell (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: The All-Pro cornerback seems to be trending in the right direction to play this weekend, as he went from logging a limited practice session Thursday to a full workload Friday. Nonetheless, Terrell must clear concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday, and if he's unable to do so, Dee Alford and Clark Phillips would likely see more work in the Falcons' secondary.

Leads team with nine tackles
Terrell notched nine tackles (six solo) and a pass deflection in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: The lockdown cornerback notched a season-high nine tackles, giving him 14 total across two games. Terrell also forced a field goal by deflecting a third-down pass intended for Cooper Kupp at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The 2020 first-round pick is one of Atlanta's most disruptive defenders, but unless he can maintain his high-tackle volume, he'll likely be a risky IDP option on a weekly basis.

Terrell recorded one tackle across 10 defensive snaps during Friday's preseason opener against the Lions.
Analysis: Terrell, along with the majority of the defensive starters, played just one drive, which ultimately ended in a Lions touchdown. Nevertheless, the 2020 first-round pick is coming off back-to-back strong campaigns and figures to be a top-tier IDP option at cornerback in 2022. Atlanta's secondary as a whole will look to improve upon last year's performance after signing veteran cornerback Casey Hayward in free agency.

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.

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…read more

Back at team facilities
Terrell (illness) is present at Atlanta's facilities for team meetings Wednesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Terrell still has to clear some additional protocols and officially come off the reserve/COVID-19 list, but it looks as though he has a chance to be available as early as Sunday's game against the Panthers. The rookie first-round pick has missed back-to-back contests since testing positive for COVID-19 on Sept. 26.

Won't suit up for MNF
Terrell (reserve/COVID-19 list) will not be active for Monday night's game against the Packers, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: The 2020 No. 16 overall draft pick has remained out since first testing positive for COVID-19 on Sept. 26, and he'll now miss his second consecutive outing. Atlanta will also be without veteran cornerback Darqueze Dennard (hamstring) for a matchup against Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay, leaving Kendall Sheffield, Isaiah Oliver and Blidi Wreh-Wilson as the top three available CBs for the Falcons' bottom-three pass defense (350.3 yards allowed per game).

Tests positive for COVID-19
Terrell has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list after his test from Friday came back positive, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: This explains Terrell's absence from Saturday's walkthrough. He becomes the first NFL player to miss a game because of COVID-19. He was on the field for all 82 defensive snaps in last week's loss to the Cowboys, so the team will have to look at some other options in the secondary as a result.

Ready for NFL debut
Terrell (hamstring) will play in Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Terrell was limited in practice Thursday and Friday, but there's no concern about his availability for Sunday's matchup. The rookie first-rounder draws a difficult NFL debut with Russell Wilson under center for Seattle, as Terrell will be responsible for covering either Tyler Lockett or DK Metcalf.

Logs limited practice
Terrell was limited in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Terrell wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so he may have sustained his hamstring injury during Thursday's session. The rookie first-round pick looks primed to start against Seattle on Sunday, if healthy, so his participation in Friday's practice will be worth monitoring.

Quieting skeptics in camp
Terrell is "looking and playing like a No. 1 corner" in training camp, Matthew Tabeek of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Results certainly have potential to change once the bright lights come on Week 1, but Terrell is so far bringing a newfound confidence to the Falcons' cornerback group. He did struggle mightily in coverage against Ja'Marr Chase during Clemson's national title loss to LSU in January, but otherwise Terrell helped lead the Tigers to a 29-1 record across two years as a starter, while establishing himself as one of the premier defensive backs in the nation. Terrell must, of course, prove his…read more

Inks rookie contract
Terrell signed his four-year, $14.31 million rookie contract with the Falcons on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The first-round draft choice became the final member of Atlanta's 2020 draft class to sign, joining five fellow Falcons rookies by inking a deal that includes $7.96 million in signing bonus cash. Terrell is expected to immediately compete for a starting role alongside cornerbacks Isaiah Oliver and Kendall Sheffield, providing Atlanta with one of the more youthful secondaries in all the NFL. An abbreviated training camp certainly will not help Terrell acclimate in the early going, but he and the…read more
