Falcons without AJ Terrell for second straight week
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – The Atlanta Falcons will be without their top cornerback, AJ Terrell, for the second straight week due to a hamstring injury. The Falcons face the Washington Commanders this Sunday at home.
Terrell left the team’s Week 2 game against the Minnesota Vikings in the second quarter and did not return. He has not practiced since then.
Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said he feels good about the possibility of getting Terrell back after Atlanta’s bye week, which is Week 5. Therefore, Terrell may be able to return for the Falcons’ next game after the Commanders, at home against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.
The Commanders will not have quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin this weekend due to injuries. Terrell limited McLaurin to a single reception for five yards when the two teams faced each other last December.
Dee Alford is likely to replace Terrell against Washington. He played well in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers despite the devastating 30-0 loss for the Falcons.
