Terrell (groin) was a limited participant at the Falcons' practice Wednesday, Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Terrell had his 21-day practice window opened by Atlanta on Wednesday, and he was able to log a limited session. The cornerback will have two more chances to log a full practice and officially move past the groin injury that has caused him to miss the last four games while on injured reserve.
Henderson (groin) was a limited participant at the Falcons' practice Wednesday, Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Henderson was unable to practice at all last week before ultimately missing the team's Week 6 loss to the Bears while nursing a groin injury he suffered in Week 5 versus Baltimore. The cornerback's return to practice is a step in the right direction, and he will have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.

Falcons' C.J. Henderson: Won't play against Chicago
Rotowire
Henderson (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Henderson was held out of practice all week due to a groin injury that he sustained during the Falcons' Week 5 overtime loss to the Ravens. In his absence, Avieon Terrell is expected to start opposite Mike Hughes at outside cornerback, with Mike Ford providing depth. Harrison's next opportunity to play is Week 7 against San Francisco on Sunday, Oct. 25.
Smith (neck) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Smith's status on Atlanta's official injury report changed from "concussion/neck" to just "neck" Thursday, signaling he has cleared league concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bears. With that said, his availability for Week 6 is still up in the air due to the neck issue, and he may have to log a full practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Rotowire
The Falcons placed Abdullah (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Abdullah was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, but his hamstring injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve. He'll be required to miss at least the next four games, so the earliest Abdullah can return is Week 9 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Smith (concussion/neck) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Smith entered the league's concussion protocol during the Falcons' Week 4 win over the Saints on Monday. He drew the questionable tag after practicing in a limited capacity Friday, but it looks like he won't clear protocol before Sunday's game. Samson Ebukam (hamstring) is also listed as questionable, so Jared Ivey, Bralen Trice and Cameron Thomas are all in line for more defensive snaps against Baltimore. Smith's next chance to play is Week 6 against the Bears on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Falcons' Za'Darius Smith: Questionable with concussion
Rotowire
Smith (concussion/neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Smith was a limited participant in Friday's practice as he continues to deal with a concussion he suffered in the Falcons' win over the Saints on Monday. The linebacker still needs to be cleared for full contact by an independent neurologist. If the 34-year-old still has concussion symptoms Saturday, he will not be able to suit up for Sunday's game.
