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.

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.

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).

Henderson worked out with the Falcons on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Henderson spent the 2024 season with the Steelers, but his campaign was ended by a neck injury in mid-November. He appears to be fully recovered and is seeking new opportunities for a depth-corner role around the league.

The Steelers placed Henderson (neck) on injured reserve Saturday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Henderson had already been ruled out for Sunday's date with the Broncos, and he'll now be required to miss at least the next four games. He'll be eligible to return in Week 15 against Philadelphia. The No. 9 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Jaguars, Henderson has yet to appear in a game this season.
