Atlanta has placed safety DeMarcco Hellams on IR among other moves.
The Atlanta Falcons announced a few last-minute roster moves ahead of their Week 14 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The team placed safety DeMarcco Hellams on the injured reserve list, signed wide receiver Deven Thompkins to the 53-man roster and elevated cornerback C.J. Henderson from the practice squad.
Hellams, a former seventh-round pick out of Alabama, was previously ruled out for Sunday’s game due to a hamstring injury. With five games left, Hellams’ season is more than likely over. Henderson, a former top-10 pick, can help provide secondary depth in Week 14.
The Falcons have struggled to find production from their wide receiver group in recent weeks, especially with Drake London out. Thompkins was elevated to the roster last week and received playing time over KhaDarel Hodge and Casey Washington.
Check out the Falcons’ updated 53-man roster and practice squad entering Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.
