A.J. Terrell Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Another impressive season Terrell recorded 68 total tackles (49 solo), 12 passes defensed and two forced fumbles over 15 regular-season games in 2025.

Impact Despite playing 86 fewer defensive snaps in 2025 than in 2024, Terrell still registered more total tackles (66 to 68), passes defensed (six to 12) and forced fumbles (zero to two) than he did last season. The veteran corner from Clemson has proven to be one of the NFL's premier defensive backs, posting 61 passes defensed, including six interceptions, since entering the league in 2020. Under contract through the 2028 season, Terrell is expected to remain a key portion of the Falcons' secondary for years to come.

Questionable with illness Terrell (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Terrell was a new addition to Saturday's injury report with a sudden illness. If the cornerback is unable to overcome the issue in time for Sunday's divisional clash, he will likely be inactive for the game. If Terrell is unable to play, Natrone Brooks would be set to start at outside cornerback opposite Cobee Bryant.

Good to go for TNF Terrell (neck) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Terrell was listed as a limited participant during Tuesday's walkthrough practice, but he upgraded to full activity levels Wednesday. The standout cornerback will be available for Thursday's divisional matchup on the road against Tampa Bay. Across 11 regular season-appearances so far, Terrell has tallied 52 tackles (36 solo), eight passes defensed and one forced fumble.

Dealing with neck issue Terrell (neck) was a limited participant during the Falcons' walkthrough practice Tuesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Terrell tied his season-high tackle total (eight) Sunday versus the Seahawks, but it looks like he may have picked up a neck injury along the way. He'll only get one chance to log a full practice prior to Thursday's game at Tampa Bay, so his name will be worth checking for when Atlanta releases its last practice report of the week Wednesday.

Solid showing Sunday Terrell recorded six tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss versus the Panthers.

Impact Carolina quarterback Bryce Young threw for a franchise record 448 yards in Week 11, but Terrell seemed to mostly hold his own, and he still hasn't had a touchdown thrown against him this season. His prowess in coverage means opposing offenses often avoid throwing to his side of the field, keeping him from IDP relevancy in most formats.
