Good to go Sunday Sheffield (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Impact The 24-year-old suffered the concussion last Thursday against the Panthers, but he was able to clear the concussion protocol with the extra time between games. Sheffield should fill his usual role in the secondary for Atlanta on Sunday.

Dealing with concussion Sheffield (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Sheffield's head injury has been confirmed as a concussion, so he'll need to clear concussion protocol to suit up Sunday against the Broncos. On the bright side, the second-year cornerback was at least able to get in a limited practice to start the week.

Questionable with head injury Sheffield is being evaluated for a head injury in Thursday night's game against the Panthers and is questionable to return, Jason Butt of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Sheffield took a shot to the head from his teammate on the Falcons' first defensive play of the game and was slow to get up. As long as Sheffield is out, Blidi Wreh-Wilson is slated to take over at cornerback.

To suit up for Week 7 Sheffield (ankle) logged a full practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site report...

Impact Sheffield tweaked his ankle during Atlanta's Week 6 triumph over the Vikings, but he was able to return to action and garner 91 percent of the defensive snaps. The second-year man was forced to sit out the first three games of 2020 because of a foot injury, and so far he has struggled in coverage when active. Though Sheffield does own two pass deflections on the year, opponents are averaging an astronomical 15.8 yards per completion when throwing in his direction.

Dealing with ankle injury Sheffield exited Sunday's game against the Panthers with an ankle injury, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact The 24-year-old missed the first three games of the season with a foot injury, so it's at least good news that he didn't aggravate that injury. Blidi Wreh-Wilson should see more snaps while Sheffield is sidelined.

Decent 2020 debut on MNF Sheffield collected six tackles and one pass deflection while playing 100 percent of the defensive snaps during Monday night's 30-16 loss to Green Bay.

Impact Though Atlanta's defense as a whole was torched by Aaron Rodgers, surrendering 327 passing yards and four touchdowns to the future Hall of Famer, Sheffield allowed completions on just 50 percent of his targets. The 24-year-old held Rodgers to a 67.2 pass rating when throwing in his direction, but with Darqueze Dennard (hamstring), Keanu Neal (hamstring) and Ricardo Allen (elbow) all unavailable for Week 4, the Falcons were no match for Green Bay's passing attack. Next up is a showdown with NFC South rival Carolina and its quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who is coming off a 276-yard, two-touchdown passing performance against the Cardinals.

Season debut on tap Sheffield (foot) practiced fully Saturday and is expected to start Monday's game versus the Packers, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Sheffield has officially been cleared to return after sitting out the first three games of the season. The Falcons' secondary is notoriously porous, ranking 31st with 350.3 passing yards allowed per game, and Sheffield will attempt to patch it up in his return to the lineup. Last season, he allowed a 110.0 passer rating and two touchdowns when targeted.

Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Sheffield is expected to immediately handle his usual starting role at left cornerback.

Returning to practice Coach Dan Quinn said Sheffield (foot) will return to practice beginning Thursday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Quinn expanded by stating the team will monitor Sheffield's progress during practice sessions throughout the week, and a decision on his availability for Monday Night Football will be made from there. Darqueze Dennard (hamstring) landed on injured reserve Tuesday, and rookie A.J. Terrell is currently on the Reserve-COVID-19 list, leaving Atlanta with a precarious situation in the secondary. This is certainly not an ideal week to be shorthanded, as the Falcons take on Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, who is boasting a 9:0 TD:INT with more than 295 passing yards per game.
