News

  • Past hamstring injury

    Alford (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Alford was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury that forced him to be sidelined against the Broncos in Week 11, but he looks to be on track to play Sunday against the Chargers. Through 10 regular-season games, Alford has logged 54 tackles (43 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and six passes defensed.

  • Opens week with limited work

    Alford (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Alford was sidelined for Atlanta's Week 11 loss to the Broncos after sustaining a hamstring injury the game prior. He had some additional recovery time with the Falcons' Week 12 bye; however, Wednesday's limited session suggests he's still dealing with the issue. Alford's practice participation Thursday and Friday will offer the best insight into whether he can return for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

  • Out for Sunday

    Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Friday that Alford (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alford's absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as the Tusculum product was unable to practice all week after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Saints. Atlanta's cornerback room is expected to be headlined by A.J. Terrell, Kevin King and Clark Phillips with Alford, Mike Hughes (neck) and Antonio Hamilton (pectoral) all sidelined for Week 11.

  • DNP on Wednesday

    Alford (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Alford played just 21 total snaps (15 defensive and six on special teams) and recorded one tackle before exiting Sunday's loss to the Saints with a hamstring injury. If 27-year-old is unable to upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss the Falcons' Week 11 matchup against the Broncos.

  • Healthy for Week 6

    Alford (concussion) holds no injury designation for Sunday's game against Carolina.

    Analysis: Alford left last Thursday's matchup against the Buccaneers early with a concussion, but it appears he's healed and ready to take on the Panthers this Sunday. The 5-foot-11 cornerback has 29 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended so far this season.

  • Returns to full practice

    Alford (concussion) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Alford suffered a concussion in last Thursday's win over the Buccaneers and appears well on his way to clearing the league's five-step protocol. Barring any setbacks, he'll likely be able to suit up Sunday against the Panthers.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Alford (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Alford was placed in concussion protocol after sustaining a head injury in the first quarter of the Falcons' Week 5 win over the Buccaneers, so Wednesday's limited session comes as no surprise. The 26-year-old cornerback will still need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion process in order to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

  • Enters protocol

    Alford was placed in the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in last Thursday's 36-30 win over the Buccaneers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Alford suffered the injury in the first quarter and was not allowed to return to the game. In his absence, Antonio Hamilton took over slot corner duties and recorded two combined tackles. Hamilton will likely be tasked with that role again if Alford doesn't get clearance to suit up for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

  • Departs Thursday with head injury

    Alford is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Thursday's contest versus Tampa Bay, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alford was hurt in the first quarter while making a tackle of Chris Godwin. Antonio Hamilton entered as the Falcons' nickel corner in Alford's stead and will likely be asked to hold down that role if the latter is unable to return.

  • Notches first sack

    Alford recorded nine tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defensed during Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: After a quiet start to the campaign, Alford has racked up 19 tackles (15 solo) over the last two weeks. The slot cornerback also recorded his first career full sack - he had a split sack during his rookie season in 2022. With Mike Hughes moving outside this season, Alford appears to be thriving in a starting role.

  • Tallies 10 tackles Week 3

    Alford finished Sunday's 22-17 loss to Kansas City with 10 tackles (seven solo).

    Analysis: Alford was the second-leading scorer for the Falcons on Sunday behind Troy Andersen (12). After playing just 29 defensive snaps in Week 1 against the Steelers, Alford has played 98 snaps on defense over the last two regular season games and has established himself as the slot corner alongside starters A.J. Terrell and Mike Hughes. Alford has 17 tackles (12 solo) and one pass defended through the first three games of the year.

  • Operates as slot CB

    Alford mustered two tackles (one solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: With Mike Hughes moving outside, Alford has stepped up as the Falcons' starting slot CB in 2024. Alford played 31 defensive snaps in Week 1, which isn't enough to generate IDP value. The Steelers don't run many three-wideout sets anymore, so Alford may see more snaps when Atlanta faces a more pass-happy team.

  • Nonfactor down the stretch

    Alford finished 2023 with 41 tackles (25 solo), six pass defenses and one fumble recovery in 16 appearances. He also recorded 13 kick-return yards and 160 punt-return yards.

    Analysis: After being a regular defensive contributor for the first 14 weeks of the season, Alford was relegated to primarily operating on special teams over the final four games. He's under contract for one more season, but if the Falcons make any additions to their secondary this offseason, Alford's defensive role could become obsolete in 2024.

  • Ruled out for Week 10

    Alford (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Alford got in a limited practice Thursday but was downgraded to DNP again Friday. Alford picked up the injury in Week 9. With the second-year cornerback out, the Falcons will need to replace his 71 percent playing time clip in the secondary. They have a number of different options.

  • Returns to practice Thursday

    Alford (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: It's a step in the right direction for Alford after he was a non-participant at practice Wednesday. He'll still probably need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Misses practice

    Alford (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alford exited Sunday's game against the Vikings with the injury and should currently be considered questionable for Week 10 against the Cardinals. If he is unable to play, Clark Phillips will likely handle nickel corner duties, while Mike Hughes and Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) would be candidates to handle return duties.

  • Questionable to return

    Alford suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Vikings and is questionable to return, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Before exiting, the nickel corner and starting returner assisted on two tackles on defense and returned a kickoff and a punt for a combined five yards. Clark Phillips moved into his nickel corner spot, and Mike Hughes and Cordarrelle Patterson are in line to take over his returning duties.

  • Splits punt-return duties

    Alford recorded six tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Alford was solid as the team's top slot cornerback, finishing fifth on the team in tackles. However, his presence as a punt returner is also noteworthy. With Avery Williams, who handled punts in 2022, out for the year after tearing his ACL during an offseason workout, the Falcons are looking for someone to take hold of that position. Alford returned a punt for a touchdown during the preseason, but he split duties with Scotty Miller during the regular-season opener.

  • Returns punt for TD in opener

    Alford recorded one pass defense across 13 defensive snaps and returned a punt for a 79-yard touchdown during Friday's preseason opener against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Alford, a 2022 undrafted free agent, saw expanded work as a rookie when Atlanta was dealing with numerous injuries to its secondary last year. He totaled 25 tackles, seven pass defenses, an interception and 0.5 sacks across 16 appearances (238 defensive snaps). Alford is battling for a roster spot in 2023, but he has a chance to carve out a role with Clark Phillips (leg) and Jeff Okudah (ankle) currently sidelined. Alford will also compete with newcomer Mike Hughes for punt-return duties, as…read more

  • Good to go for Week 8

    Alford (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Alford missed the Falcons' Week 7 contest versus the Bengals due to a hamstring injury, but it appears like he'll be able to return to action Sunday against Carolina. With fellow defensive back A.J. Terrell (hamstring) already ruled out this week, the 24-year-old is in line to operate as Atlanta's No. 2 cornerback this weekend behind Darren Hall.

  • Questionable against Panthers

    Alford (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: If Alford's able to play, he'll likely slide into the starting role vacated by A.J. Terrell, who has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury of his own. Alford's injury appears to be less serious, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be capable of playing through it come Sunday.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Alford (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Alford returning to practice in any sort of capacity is a great sign for Atlanta as he missed last week. Through his six games with the team he's recorded 15 tackles, one interception and two pass breakups. The cornerback will have two more chances to practice and recover prior to Sunday's contest against Carolina.

  • Labeled day-to-day by coach

    Alford (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, per coach Arthur Smith, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Alford exited Atlanta's Week 7 loss to the Bengals due to the injury, but it sounds like he may not need to miss much additional time. His participation level in practice leading up to the Falcons' Week 8 matchup with Carolina should help dictate Alford's availability. The Falcons can ill afford to have him miss much time with fellow cornerback A.J. Terrell (hamstring) labeled week-to-week.

  • Won't face Bengals

    Alford (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Alford suffered the injury during Atlanta's Week 6 win over the 49ers, and he played a season-low 11 snaps as a result. He has 15 total tackles, two passes defended and an interception through six games this season, so his absence will leave a gap in the Atlanta secondary. Mike Ford is a candidate to see more snaps in Alford's absence.

  • Shines in preseason opener

    Alford collected eight tackles (six solo) and one interception during Friday's preseason opener against the Lions.

    Analysis: Alford operated as a backup to Casey Hayward and A.J. Terrell but ended up playing the majority of the game (46 defensive snaps). The undrafted cornerback out of Tusculum hasn't made much noise during training camp, but he made his presence felt during his first NFL action, finishing with a team-high eight tackles. He also arguably made the play of the game when he blanketed Kalil Pimpleton and dove to intercept a Tim Boyle pass during the Lions' first drive of the second half. Behind Hayward…read more
