Falcons' DeMarcco Hellams: Could return Sunday
DeMarcco Hellams (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Will McFadden of the Atlanta Falcons' official site reports.Hellams was unable to suit up in Week 1 due to a hamstring injury, but after logging a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to play Sunday. The third-year safety from Alabama missed the Falcons' entire 2024 campaign with an ankle issue. However, he posted 40 total tackles across 354 defensive snaps in his rookie season. If Hellams can suit up in Week 2, he'd likely serve as Atlanta's top reserve safety.

Falcons' DeMarcco Hellams: Full-go at voluntary workouts
Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said last Friday that DeMarcco Hellams (ankle) will be a full participant at voluntary OTAs, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.Hellams missed the entire 2024 campaign due to a significant ankle sustained during the preseason, but he'll have a full offseason of health to get ready for the 2025 season. Atlanta's decision to sign Jordan Fuller to a one-year deal in free agency will likely relegate Hellams to a rotational or backup role on defense, especially if the Falcons also address the safety spot in the 2025 NFL Draft.
