Won't return vs. Indianapolis Alford (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Alford was assessed by medical staff after taking a hit to the heat in the first half, and the fourth-year pro has entered the league's concussion protocol and will not return. Natrone Brooks and Keith Taylor are in line for more snaps at outside corner in Alford's absence.

Possible concussion Alford is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Alford took a hit to the head in the first quarter of Sunday's game, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. He got the start at corner in the absence of Mike Hughes (neck), so the Falcons could opt to insert Natrone Brooks at outside corner or shift Billy Bowman from the slot for as long as Alford is out of the game.

Logs sack versus Dolphins Alford tallied five solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the Falcons' loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Impact Alford was one of Atlanta's few bright spots during the loss, recording the team's lone sack of Tua Tagovailoa. Across seven games played, the 27-year-old has logged 24 tackles (19 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and an interception. He will look to add to his totals during the Week 9 matchup versus the Patriots.

Minimal role in Week 7 Alford recorded one tackle (one solo) during Sunday's 20-10 loss at San Francisco.

Impact The 49ers ran the ball on 59 percent of their offensive snaps in Week 7, so Alford was only on the field for 22 plays on defense, limiting his opportunities. With a pass-dependent Dolphins attack on tap for Week 8, Alford is set up nicely for a bounce-back game.

Impact Alford registered his first interception (and second of his four-year NFL career) late in the first half, which put the Falcons at midfield with a chance to extend their 14-point lead heading into halftime. He also took down Josh Allen for a 15-yard sack early in the second quarter, which was Alford's first since Week 4 of the 2024 campaign. Alford is up to 18 tackles (13 solo) and five pass defenses through the first five games of the regular season.

Limited to open week Alford (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

Impact Alford logged six tackles (three solo) and played a season-high 72 snaps (66 on defense, six on special teams) during the Falcons' Week 17 loss to the Commanders. It appears the 27-year-old corner may have injured his groin during the game, which limited him in the Falcons' first official practice of the week. He'll have two more days this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Panthers. Alford has logged 76 tackles (56 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced across 15 regular-season games.
