Hellams (ankle) was placed on injured reserve by the Falcons on Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official website reports.
Hellams suffered an ankle injury against the Dolphins on Aug. 9, and he'll now be forced to miss at least Atlanta's first four games of the 2024 season as a result. The safety will be first eligible to return to action Oct. 3 versus the Buccaneers in Week 5.
