Signs with Vegas Wreh-Wilson agreed to a contract with the Raiders on Wednesday, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Wreh-Wilson delivered interceptions in Weeks 3, 8 and 14, providing the eight-year NFL veteran with the Falcons team lead in the category despite him not registering a single start all season. The UConn standout only exceeded 30 defensive snaps in three games, as Atlanta relied upon A.J. Terrell, Isaiah Oliver, Kendall Sheffield and Darqueze Dennard (quadriceps) for regular cornerback snaps. Wreh-Wilson is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March after pulling in $1.1 million in base salary during 2020.

Recovered from illness Wreh-Wilson (illness) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Wreh-Wilson left in the first half of last week's game after feeling ill, but he seems to be over the effects of the illness and should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Atlanta's beleaguered secondary will need all the help it can get against Patrick Mahomes and the high-flying Kansas City passing attack.

Falcons DB Blidi Wreh-Wilson questionable to return with illness Falcons cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson has left the game and his return is unknown with an undisclosed illness.

DECEMBER 20, 2020 • USATODAY.COM

Dealing with ailment Wreh-Wilson (illness) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Wreh-Wilson was forced to leave the contest in the second quarter, as he's failed to record a fantasy-relevant stat. As long as the veteran is sidelined, Isaiah Oliver and Tyler Hall could see a slight increase in snaps.

Secures crunch-time INT Wreh-Wilson recorded an interception during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chargers.

Impact The veteran cornerback went without a tackle over 11 defensive snaps, but he delivered a takeaway in the waning moments of Sunday's loss. Faced with a tie game and Los Angeles driving into Atlanta territory in the final minute of regulation, Wreh-Wilson stepped in front of a Justin Herbert pass to provide the Falcons with possession at their own 45-yard line. Matt Ryan would throw an interception of his own three plays later, rendering Wreh-Wilson's third INT of the 2020 campaign less impactful.

Secures game-clinching turnover Wreh-Wilson collected four tackles, one tackle for loss and an interception during Thursday's 25-17 win against the Panthers.

Impact Carolina was mounting a threatening two-minute drill Thursday night while down eight points in the fourth quarter. Teddy Bridgewater led the Panthers down to the Falcons' 30-yard line with 65 seconds to go, but on the ninth play of the drive, Wreh-Wilson stepped in front of a pass intended for DJ Moore to secure a game-icing takeaway. A head injury to Kendall Sheffield partway through the contest allowed for Wreh-WIlson to play his third-highest defensive snap count of the season (30), and he may have earned more opportunities moving forward with his clutch performance.

Impact The Falcons currently rank 31st in the NFL at 372 passing yards allowed per game with Terrell playing Weeks 1 and 2, but now Atlanta will be left with Wreh-Wilson, Darqueze Dennard, Isaiah Oliver and recent practice-squad callups Delrick Abrams and Tyler Hall as its available cornerbacks. Wreh-Wilson has played a combined three defensive snaps over the first two weeks, but he may be asked to take on a considerable defensive workload against Chicago's 29th-ranked pass offense.
