Pre-game burning questions: How do Falcons manage AJ Terrell's absence? - AtlantaFalcons.com

What is your concern level with the absence of A.J. Terrell for today's game?

Conway: Not going to sugarcoat this one, this is a tough loss for the Falcons. Without Kendall Sheffield and A.J. Terrell, the Falcons will rely on Isaiah Oliver, Blidi Wreh-Wilson and Darqueze Dennard today at cornerback. I'd be more concerned if this was in Week 1 or 2 with those quarterbacks, but again, my concern level is high.

McFadden: I think Kelsey is spot on. It helps that this is Mitch Trubisky and not Russell Wilson or Dak Prescott, but those two players earned Offensive Player of the Week honors after facing the Falcons, and that was with Terrell in the fold. He played well against the Cowboys, and it's not good to see any player go on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He was always going to be an important player for this team, but they will have to make do without him against the Bears.

Tabeek: I think it's a huge concern anytime you find out your starter is out just hours before a game. But, as you know in any sport when someone else goes down, it's next man up. Atlanta is currently allowing 476.5 yards per game, which ranks 31 out of 32 teams, and is giving up an average 39.0 points per game, which is worst in the league. The Bears have watched the Falcons' first two games, too, and will obviously look for ways to attack this defense. And until the Falcons can prove they can stop offenses, teams will attack them in the same manner, regardless if A.J. Terrell is playing or not. If the Falcons can generate a pass rush against Chicago, that will certainly help the back end of the defense.
