Terrell was Atlanta’s highest-graded defender by Pro Football Focus in Week 2 and his absence will put extra pressure on struggling CB Isaiah Oliver.
To compensate for his loss, the team elevated undrafted free agents Tyler Hall and Delrick Abrams from the practice squad, along with LB Edmond Robinson.
Expect Darqueze Dennard to start on the outside in place of Terrell in Week 3.
