Atlanta’s injury issues at cornerback are officially alarming. A.J. Terrell is “week-to-week,” which likely means he’ll miss the game against the Panthers, and Casey Hayward hit injured reserve after the 49ers game. Dee Alford is day-to-day, Mike Ford left Sunday’s game and we haven’t gotten an update on his status yet, and Isaiah Oliver has only been back a couple of games after a long recovery from a very serious injury. Darren Hall is the only fully healthy corner on the Falcons’ roster today.
In light of that, the Falcons are going to have to do something at cornerback, which makes looking at available free agent corners a worthwhile exercise.
