The Atlanta Falcons just pulled cornerback A.J. Terrell off injured reserve, and the biggest news? He is officially playing this Sunday.
Terrell’s Big Return: Off the IR, No Injury Tag
Terrell has been sidelined since Week 2 with a groin injury. But get this: he returned to practice this week, and now he’s back on the 53-player roster with absolutely no injury designation. He’s cleared. He will play. That’s huge for the Falcons defense as they prep for the 49ers. You know that kind of news has to fire up the locker room.
Roster Shuffle and Injury Updates
It wasn’t just Terrell making headlines though. The Falcons also had to make other roster adjustments. They placed offensive tackle Michael Jerrell on injured reserve with a biceps injury. To bolster the squad, defensive end Drake Jackson got signed to the active roster, and they elevated running back Khalil Herbert and linebacker Brian Asamoah from the practice squad specifically for this Sunday’s game. On the injury report for Sunday, wide receiver Beaux Collins (hip) and offensive tackle Cameron Williams (ankle) are both ruled out. And talk about tough luck: defensive back Avieon Terrell, who was questionable with a hamstring, now also has an illness and remains questionable. It sounds like they’re really going to need A.J. Terrell out there.
So, A.J. Terrell is officially back from the IR, cleared, and set to hit the field for the Falcons’ big Sunday game against the 49ers. This is a massive return for them, and you know they’ll be fired up to have him back out there when the whistle blows.
