The Atlanta Falcons placed cornerback A.J. Terrell on the injured reserve list and signed defensive lineman Zach Harrison off of the practice squad in a corresponding transaction. Terrell is dealing with multiple injuries, including a groin issue that caused him to miss most of Week 2.
Harrison, who was one of the surprise cuts at the 53-man roster deadline, now returns to the active roster in time for Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers. The former third-round pick was elevated from the practice squad in Week 2. Harrison should play an even bigger role in Week 3 with Samson Ebukam dealing with an injury.
With Terrell out, the Falcons will look to CJ Henderson to take his place in the starting lineup. Henderson, a former top-10 pick,
was solid in relief of Terrell last week. We'll see how he performs against a talented Packers offense on Thursday.
The Falcons also signed former Detroit Lions offensive tackle Colby Sorsdal to the practice squad and released undrafted free agent center James Brockermeyer. Sorsdal, a former fifth-round pick, has appeared in 17 career games over the last three seasons.
