Top A.J. Terrell News

  • Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Lands on IR with groin issue

    The Falcons placed Terrell (groin) on injured reserve Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Terrell will be sidelined for at least the Falcons' next four games after sustaining a groin injury in the first quarter of Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Panthers. In Week 2, C.J. Henderson ended up filling in for Terrell at the boundary corner spot opposite Mike Hughes and appears primed to make regular starts so long as Terrell is out of action. The 27-year-old Terrell totaled six tackles and two pass breakups through the Falcons' first two contests of 2026.

  • Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Exits with groin injury

    Terrell (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Terrell was listed as doubtful to return to Sunday's contest after sustaining a groin injury in the first half. The cornerback avoided a concussion, but the groin issue has stuck enough to rule him out for the remainder of the game. C.J. Henderson is set to play outside cornerback for the Falcons secondary in Terrell's absence.

  • Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Doubtful to return Sunday vs. Carolina

    Terrell is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers due to a groin injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Terrell was cleared for a concussion, but he was also diagnosed with a groin injury that will likely sideline him for the rest of Sunday's contest. C.J. Henderson will take over at outside corner in Terrell's absence.

  • Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Cleared to play Week 2

    Terrell (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Terrell saw his practice reps limited by a shoulder issue this past week, but he showed enough during pregame warmups to be given the green light to play in Sunday's NFC South showdown. The veteran defensive back logged five tackles (two solo) and one pass defense during the Falcons' 20-13 Week 1 loss to the Steelers.

  • Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Questionable to play Sunday

    Terrell (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Carolina.

    Terrell didn't practice Wednesday but logged a full session Thursday. However, he was absent again Friday, resulting in a questionable designation. With Billy Bowman (Achilles) already ruled out, Avieon Terrell and C.J. Henderson may be tasked with taking on more prominent roles alongside Mike Hughes.

  • Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Full participant Thursday

    Terrell (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    The cornerback told reporters that he would be available to play Sunday against the Panthers, per D. Orlando Ledbetter of BowTieSports.com. Terrell missed practice Wednesday after briefly exiting last Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh following a shoulder injury. He did return to the game and play on 62 defensive snaps overall.

  • Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Still dealing with shoulder issue

    Terrell (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Terrell was able to return to Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh after hurting his shoulder while defending a pass, so Atlanta may just be exercising an abundance of caution. He could still avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend if he practices in full Thursday or Friday.

  • Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Frees up cap space

    Terrell agreed Monday to convert $12 million of his salary for 2026 into a signing bonus, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Terrell's restructure frees up further cap space for the Falcons to operate in free agency. The star cornerback logged another impressive season in 2025, when he suited up for 15 regular-season games and totaled 68 tackles (49 solo), 12 passes defensed and two forced fumbles. He stands to continue anchoring Atlanta's secondary for the foreseeable future, as he remains under contract through 2028.
