Falcons' C.J. Henderson: Stepping into starting role
Henderson is expected to step into a starting role at cornerback in Week 3, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.
Henderson has compiled five solo tackles and two passes defensed while playing 66 snaps on defense and 16 snaps with the special-teams unit over Atlanta's first two games of the season. The cornerback will now take over a starting role in the secondary after A.J. Terrell (groin) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

C.J. Henderson: Returning to Atlanta
The Falcons signed Henderson to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
The 2020 first-rounder signed with the Falcons late in training camp, and while he didn't make the initial 53-man roster he will stick around on the team's practice squad. Henderson is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster if the Falcons need help in the secondary or on special teams.

C.J. Henderson: Cut loose by Atlanta
The Falcons released Henderson on Tuesday, Terrin Waack, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.
Henderson was brought in by the Falcons on Aug. 14 to compete for a depth spot on the 53-man roster. He played in the Falcons' preseason finale against the Cowboys on Friday, finishing with one solo tackle while playing 24 snaps (22 on defense, two on special teams). Henderson ultimately didn't show enough to catch on with the Falcons, but the 2020 first-rounder has started in 32 regular-season games since entering the league and should garner interest from teams looking to add veteran depth to the secondary.

Falcons' C.J. Henderson: Latches on with Atlanta
The Falcons signed Henderson to a contract Thursday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Henderson worked out with the Falcons in late July, and the 2020 first-rounder will now have an opportunity to compete for a depth spot on Atlanta's 53-man roster for the upcoming season.
