DeMarcco Hellams

Falcons S DeMarcco Hellams exited Preseason Week 1 against the Dolphins with a left-leg injury.

Hellams was carted from the field with an air cast applied to his left leg. Although he recently lost out to Richie Grant in the competition for the Falcons’ No. 2 safety role, Hellams remained a capable rotational defender. He played 249 coverage snaps last season without giving up an explosive pass play (15-plus yards) when in primary coverage.
