Falcons' C.J. Henderson: Ready for Sunday
Henderson (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Henderson missed Week 6 due to a groin injury and fought to upgrade to full participation during the final practice session of Week 7 prep. The reserve cornerback is all set to suit up for Sunday's game behind starters A.J. Terrell and Mike Hughes.

Falcons' C.J. Henderson: Questionable against Niners
Henderson (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Henderson didn't play against the Bears in Week 6 due to a groin injury, and he was limited in the first two practices of Week 7 prep before logging a full session Friday. The full practice is a positive sign that the seventh-year defensive back will be available for Sunday's game, but his official status might not be known until about 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, which is when the Falcons announce their list of inactive players.

Falcons' C.J. Henderson: Limited participant Wednesday
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
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.

Falcons' C.J. Henderson: Misses Wednesday's practice
Henderson (groin) did not practice Wednesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Henderson exited Sunday's 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens due to a groin injury. He didn't practice Wednesday. However, head coach Kevin Stefanski hasn't ruled the 28-year-old out for the Week 6 meeting with the Bears. If Henderson can't get on the field versus Chicago, Avieon Terrell would presumably see more snaps alongside Mike Hughes.

Falcons' C.J. Henderson: Dealing with groin injury
Henderson (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Ravens, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Henderson is dealing with an apparent groin injury, and his chances to return to the field before the end of Sunday's contest appear to be slim. In his absence, Aveion Terrell, Billy Bowman and Sydney Brown all stand to see an increase in opportunities in the secondary.

Falcons' C.J. Henderson: Comes up with takeaway Monday
Henderson recorded 10 tackles (nine solo), a pass defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery during Monday's 45-24 win at New Orleans.
On a first down in Saints territory late in the first quarter, Henderson was able to rip the football right out of the hands of running back Kendre Miller in heavy traffic, setting up a touchdown to put the Falcons ahead 14-0. He may be one of the few cornerbacks meriting IDP consideration in many formats going into a Week 5 tilt versus the Ravens.

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. Henderson spent time on the Steelers' active roster during the 2024 season but did not play in a regular-season game before being placed on injured reserve in mid-November due to a neck injury. Henderson last saw regular-season action in 2023 with the Panthers, when he logged 39 tackles (31 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses across 12 games (seven starts).
