The Falcons placed safety DeMarcco Hellams on the reserve/injured list with a return designation as part of their purge down to 53 players. Hellams can return starting in Week 5.
While Hellams’ absence hurts, the team is in good shape at the safety position after signing free agent Justin Simmons. Check out the team’s complete 53-man roster HERE.
