Heads to IR
The Falcons placed Hellams (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Hellams was unable to practice this week after suffering a hamstring injury in the Falcons' Week 13 loss to the Jets. The third-year pro played in 11 of 12 games for Atlanta, appearing almost exclusively on special teams. The 25-year-old will miss at least four games, with the final week of the regular season against the Saints being the earliest he can return.

Ready to go for SNF
Hellams (hamstring) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Vikings, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

Could return Sunday
Hellams (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Hellams was unable to suit up in Week 1 due to a hamstring injury, but after logging a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to play Sunday. The third-year safety from Alabama missed the Falcons' entire 2024 campaign with an ankle issue. However, he posted 40 total tackles across 354 defensive snaps in his rookie season. If Hellams can suit up in Week 2, he'd likely serve as Atlanta's top reserve safety.

Returns to practice Wednesday
Hellams (hamstring) participated in practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Hellams didn't practice at all last week and didn't play in Sunday's season-opener versus Tampa Bay, so his ability to participate (albeit in limited fashion) in practice Wednesday represents a step in the right direction. Hellams missed all of last year due to an ankle injury, so when he next gets on the field, it will be his first regular-season action since 2023.

Out for Week 1
Hellams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.

Working through hamstring issue
Hellams did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: It's not clear when Hellams picked up the injury, but his practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide clarity on his chances of playing in Sunday's regular-season opener against Tampa Bay. Jordan Fuller would be in line to see more rotational snaps at safety behind starters Jessie Bates and Xavier Watts if Hellams is not cleared to play.

Full-go at voluntary workouts
Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said last Friday that Hellams (ankle) will be a full participant at voluntary OTAs, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Hellams missed the entire 2024 campaign due to a significant ankle sustained during the preseason, but he'll have a full offseason of health to get ready for the 2025 season. Atlanta's decision to sign Jordan Fuller to a one-year deal in free agency will likely relegate Hellams to a rotational or backup role on defense, especially if the Falcons also address the safety spot in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Still not near return
Coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that Hellams (ankle) is still "slow to go," Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Hellams has been sidelined since the preseason with a serious ankle injury, and it seems like he'll have to remain out at least through Week 13. A return to action in 2024 hasn't been ruled out, but he is starting to run out of time to make it happen.

Return not near
Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Monday that Hellams (ankle) is still "weeks away" from returning, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 2023 seventh-round pick out of Alabama has yet to suit up for the Falcons this season after sustaining an ankle injury in early August that landed him on injured reserve. Morris' comments Monday indicate that Hellams still has a long way to go in his recovery process, so expect Richie Grant to continue serving as Atlanta's top reserve safety for the foreseeable future.

Hellams (ankle) was placed on injured reserve by the Falcons on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official website reports.
Analysis: Hellams suffered an ankle injury against the Dolphins on Aug. 9, and he'll now be forced to miss at least Atlanta's first four games of the 2024 season as a result. The safety will be first eligible to return to action Oct. 3 versus the Buccaneers in Week 5.

Will miss significant time
Head coach Raheem Morris announced that Hellams (ankle) will be out for an extended time, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Healthy once again
Hellams (concussion) took part in OTAs on Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Hellams entered concussion protocol as the 2023 season came to an end, but he is now healthy and ready to take the field. The Alabama product saw his role grow as last season progressed and is expected to begin the 2024 campaign in a starting role at safety.
