Modest production in win
Grant recorded four tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 25-24 win over the Packers.
Analysis: It wasn't a prolific day for Atlanta's defense, as the offense was on the field for most of the game (82 offensive snaps to just 50 defensive). However, Grant still made some nice open-field tackles and is off to a strong start in 2023, totaling 11 tackles (six solo) and one pass defense while playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps.

Productive season as starter
Grant posted 123 tackles (70 solo), seven pass defenses, two interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 appearances during the 2022 campaign.
Analysis: After a modest rookie season, Grant, a 2021 second-round pick, won the starting free-safety job during training camp and went on to submit his first 100-tackle campaign in 2022. He posted at least five stops in all but one game (Week 7 against Cincinnati) and notched the first two interceptions of his career. Grant has two years remaining on his rookie deal and figures to be a core piece of Atlanta's secondary in 2023.

The second-year safety appeared in 16 games as a rookie, totaling 35 tackles, two pass defenses and one forced fumble across 257 defensive snaps, but he's set for an increased role in 2022 after beating out Dean Marlowe and Erik Harris for a starting gig.

Plays 12 snaps in preseason opener
Grant played 12 defensive snaps but didn't record any counting stats during Friday's preseason loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Grant drew the start at strong safety and played 12 snaps across two defensive possessions. The 2021 second-round pick appeared in 16 games as a rookie and totaled 35 tackles. He never settled into a starter's role last year, but with Atlanta in the midst of a rebuild, it appears he'll get a shot to seize a starting gig to start 2022.

Not on COVID-19 list anymore
Grant (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, according to Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site.
Analysis: The safety entered the COVID-19 protocols after testing positive Tuesday, but he has since delivered two negative tests and should be eligible to face the Bills on Sunday. Grant hasn't been able to settle in as a regular starter for Atlanta in his rookie year and has played more than 40 percent of the defensive snaps in just three games this season.

Put on COVID-19 list
Grant (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Tori McElhaney and Scott Bair of the Falcons' official website report.
Analysis: The safety will enter league protocols after testing positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday. Grant's availability to play in Week 17 against the Bills is now in question. If he's unable to go, Shawn Williams could step into a larger role in the secondary.

Gets in full practice
Grant (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday.
Analysis: Grant missed the Falcons' win over the Panthers on Sunday, but a return to practicing in full should have him on the field Sunday against the 49ers. The rookie second-round selection has 27 tackles (22 solo), a forced fumble and pass defensed on the season, playing in a reserve role at safety.

Not playing Sunday
