Falcons sideline A.J. Terrell for season, sign Zach Harrison

The Atlanta Falcons placed starting cornerback A.J. Terrell on injured reserve on September 22, 2026, effectively ending his season. To fill the roster spot, the team signed defensive lineman Zach Harrison from the practice squad. This move occurs as the Falcons prepare for a Thursday Night Football game against the Green Bay Packers, with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. set to make his first start. While Terrell's absence creates a significant defensive gap, the team received positive injury news from backup quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and right tackle Jawaan Taylor, who both returned to full participation.

Seen as a young player still growing into his body, Terrell’s upside and early contribution potential make him a compelling Day 1 prospect for a Falcons team emphasizing athleticism and a ball-h hawking mentality.

Falcons land Avieon Terrell, pairing the Terrell brothers in Atlanta's secondary

The Atlanta Falcons selected Clemson CB Avieon Terrell with the 48th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, pairing him with his brother A.J. Terrell to fortify the outside corners. Avieon brings strong coverage ability, ball skills, and versatile value (three sacks, five forced fumbles in 2025; can play nickel), and is expected to compete for an outside starting role opposite A.J. from day one, though his size may be tested by taller receivers in the NFC South. The Terrell duo could help address last year’s coverage woes and provide long-term stability in Atlanta's secondary.
