    Falcons' Mike Hughes: Posts seven tackles in Week 1

    Mike Hughes registered seven solo tackles during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.Hughes was Atlanta's slot cornerback last season, but he's shifted outside this year, operating as the No. 2 CB opposite A.J. Terrell. Hughes was briefly benched for Clark Phillips in Week 1, and Kevin King, who was up from the practice squad, also saw two defensive snaps, so it's unclear how safe Hughes' starting role is. Regardless, Hughes played 57 of Atlanta's 68 defensive snaps and will have some IDP value as long as he's on the field that often.

He operated primarily as a return man to open 2023, but he slowly relinquished those duties to Dee Alford and started to carve out a defensive role.
