Atlanta’s going to roll into this weekend set to start T.J. Green at cornerback owing to A.J. Terrell’s concussion, as well as Jalen Mayfield at left guard for the third straight week. At the very least, they could use more depth and competition at those two positions, and reinforcements may soon be on the way.
Kendall Sheffield and Josh Andrews were placed on injured reserve ahead of the season opener, and they have to remain on that list for three weeks before they’re eligible to return. Earlier this week, Arthur Smith indicated that there’s some optimism that they’ll be returning on the sooner side, potentially putting them on track to re-join the team in Week 4.
