Falcons CB A.J. Terrell injures hamstring against Bengals
Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell limped off the field in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Terrell, who injured his thigh during last week’s win over the San Francisco 49ers, has officially been ruled out with a hamstring injury, the team announced on Twitter.
The Falcons were already banged up at cornerback coming into Week 7. Casey Hayward was placed on the injured reserve list Tuesday, leaving Darren Hall and Cornell Armstrong as the current starting cornerbacks.
Terrell nursed the thigh injury throughout the week. He practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday before logging full participation on Thursday and Friday.
Prior to Sunday's game, Terrell recorded 28 tackles, five passes defended and one fumble recovery. He started every game as the Falcons top cornerback.
Cincinnati holds a 21-0 lead over Atlanta early in the second quarter.
