FLOWERY BRANCH — Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell, who left the game Sunday against the Bengals after eight plays with a hamstring injury, did not practice Wednesday, according to the Falcons’ official injury report.
Cornerback Dee Alford, who also has a hamstring injury, practiced on a limited basis.
Safety Jaylinn Hawkins (concussion) did not practice and previously was declared out of the coming game by Smith.
The Falcons (3-4) are set to host the Panthers (2-5) at 1 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The Falcons were close to putting running back Avery Williams at cornerback in games against the 49ers and Bengals.
The plan for the secondary is not set as the team prepares for the game Sunday against the Panthers.
“We just have to see who can go by Sunday,” Smith said. “Like every week at every position, we have plans on who’s going to be up. What you (are) trying to do game plan-wise and your contingency plans.”
