Hawkins recorded eight tackles (six solo) in the Patriots' loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. Filling in for an injured Kyle Dugger (ankle), Hawkins made the start and played all 78 defensive snaps versus Miami. Dugger should return at some point in the coming weeks, but with Jabrill Peppers (shoulder) now facing legal issues, Hawkins could get an extended look on the back end. Dell Pettus started in place of Peppers alongside Hawkins against the Dolphins.

The Chargers claimed Hawkins off waivers Wednesday. Hawkins will now head to Los Angeles after being waived by the Falcons on Tuesday. The 26-year-old could soon see playing time, with Alohi Gilman dealing with a heel injury.

Hawkins produced 84 tackles (45 solo), six pass defenses, two interceptions, one forced fumble and a defensive touchdown across 16 appearances during the 2022 campaign. After being a rotational piece in 2021, Hawkins earned a starting gig to begin 2022 and made the most of his opportunity by submitting a productive campaign. He missed just one game due to injury and recorded a career-high 84 tackles and six pass defenses. He also notched multiple interceptions for a second straight season and recorded his first career defensive touchdown. Barring an unforeseen change, Hawkins figures to start alongside Richie Grant to open the 2023 campaign, which will be the final year of Hawkins' rookie contract.

Hawkins doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports. Hawkins was sidelined for Week 8 due to a concussion he suffered in Week 7, but he was a full participant at each practice during Week 9 prep and is good to go for Sunday. The third-year safety has stepped up as a starter this season, posting 43 tackles, three pass defenses, one interception and one forced fumble across seven appearances.

Hawkins has left Sunday's contest with the Bengals to be evaluated for a head injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Hawkins will need to enter protocols if he suffered a concussion, which will certainly impact him for the week ahead. While he is out, Dean Marlowe should see extra opportunity.
