Atlanta Falcons fans might be getting some good news as a report has come out that Deion Jones, Devondre Campbell, and Paul Worrilow might be active against the Seahawks.

Atlanta Falcons linebackers Deion Jones, Devondre Campbell and Paul Worrilow might be back for the Seahawks game on Sunday. Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter D. Orlando Ledbetter noted that the three linebackers will be practicing on Wednesday at a minimum.

Campbell and Worrilow haven’t played since the opening game against the Buccaneers while Jones went out this past week with an ankle injury forcing Kemal Ishmael to wear the green dot helmet—the one given to the player making all of the defensive calls. Ishmael looked good as a depth linebacker for the Falcons in his lone game versus the Broncos and could fill in there should Jones, Worrilow and Campbell not be able to play this weekend.

However, getting back even just one of these guys would give the Falcons a true starter back to their defense and someone who can help counteract the run game that the Seahawks offense leans on. In an ideal world, the Falcons would get all three of these guys back and will be 100 percent healthy on defense heading into this game.
