The Atlanta Falcons are facing a brutal injury situation heading into their Week 7 matchup against the 49ers, with both A.J. and Avieon Terrell officially listed as questionable for Sunday. This isn’t just a few bumps and bruises, folks; the sheer volume of names on this report for Atlanta is something else entirely.
The Terrell Brothers’ Status Is A Major Question Mark
Gotta love seeing A.J. Terrell return to practice this week after spending the last four weeks on injured reserve with a groin injury. You think, “Okay, a key guy is coming back!” But nope, the Falcons still have him as questionable for Sunday. He’s gotta be activated by Saturday afternoon to even have a shot at playing. And then there’s Avieon Terrell, also questionable, limited all week by a back injury. Having both Terrell brothers’ status up in the air has to be a headache for that Falcons secondary.
And The Pain Just Keeps Coming
But wait, there’s more pain for the Falcons. A whole parade of players are listed as questionable alongside the Terrells. We’re talking wide receiver Beaux Collins (hip), linebacker Kendal Daniels (neck), defensive tackle Gervon Dexter (hamstring), defensive end Samson Ebukam (hamstring), cornerback C.J. Henderson (groin), defensive end Za’Darius Smith (neck), offensive tackle Cameron Williams (ankle), and wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (shoulder). Collins and Williams are also on injured reserve, just like A.J. Terrell, so they’d need activating too. That’s a brutal list of questionable guys. On top of that, defensive back Billy Bowman (hamstring), linebacker Divine Deablo (forearm), offensive tackle Michael Jerrell (bicep), and running back Brian Robinson (hamstring) have all been officially ruled out for the game. This isn’t just a few missing pieces; it’s a significant chunk of their roster in doubt or out cold.
With so many key players either questionable or ruled out, the Falcons are going to have their hands full against the 49ers this Sunday. It’s gonna be a tough battle, and we’ll all be watching to see if they can rally without so many of their guys on the field.
