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.
