Falcons' Avieon Terrell: Won't play against San Francisco
Rotowire
Terrell (back/illness) is inactive against the 49ers on Sunday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Terrell was already listed as questionable due to a back injury, but he also picked up an illness Saturday, and the combination of ailments are enough for him to miss his first game of the season. A.J. Terrell was activated from injured reserve and figures to start at outside cornerback opposite Mike Hughes, with C.J. Henderson, Mike Ford and Robert Longerbeam all providing depth in the secondary.

Falcons' Avieon Terrell: Lands in Atlanta
Rotowire
The Falcons selected Terrell in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 48th overall.
The younger Terrell reunites with his brother A.J. Terrell, though the two played at Clemson at separate points. Avieon (5-foot-11, 186 pounds) is not as big or athletic as A.J., which is the main reason the latest Terrell fell to the second round. Avieon's athletic testing was possibly affected by a hamstring tweak, which would otherwise explain his 4.67-second pro-day 40. Poor pro day testing or not, Avieon should join A.J. in the starting lineup not long from now.
