What happened: Atlanta announced the roster move Tuesday during the 2026 regular season. A.J. Terrell Jr. goes to injured reserve with a groin injury.

Why it matters: Terrell holds a starting role at cornerback in Atlanta's secondary. His absence requires the Falcons to reshuffle coverage responsibilities in regular-season play.

What to watch: Atlanta continues regular-season play without its starting cornerback. Upcoming transactions will establish the replacement in the secondary.
