The Atlanta Falcons have designated cornerback AJ Terrell Jr. to return from injured reserve, starting his 21‑day practice window before activation. The 27‑year‑old first‑round pick from Clemson (2020) has played two games this season, tallying six tackles and two passes defended. He previously signed a four‑year, $81 million extension (base salaries of $17 M and $18 M for the final two years) after his rookie deal. The move could bolster the Falcons' secondary heading into the later weeks of the 2026 season.
The 49ers survived the Commanders 23-17 after nearly blowing a 23-3 lead. Why the scare is quietly good news before a tricky trip to Atlanta.

The Windy City Gridiron breaks down the controversial officiating in the Bears‑Falcons matchup on Oct. 18, 2026. Chicago dominated the game, but a record‑high 133 penalty yards (the most in a decade) and a ejection of Jahdae Walker marred the result. The article critiques Scott Novak’s crew, detailing missed calls that favored Atlanta and a series of incorrect flags—especially offensive holdings that nullified a 24‑yard Odunze catch and a costly pass‑interference call on Colston Loveland. It also references broader 2026 officiating blunders in college games, and introduces a new grading system that rates each call from “Correct” to “Horrible” with impact weights. The piece argues the Bears suffered a “Bears Tax” of biased penalties despite a strong performance, including Caleb Williams’ return after a hamstring injury.

A Chicago Bears fan named Derek called The Score’s daily show from a Wisconsin prison, demanding analysis of the Bears’ 31-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 19. The game saw Caleb Williams return from a hamstring injury, throwing for 305 yards and a touchdown as Chicago built a 31-7 lead before a late Falcons rally. Derek explained he’s incarcerated on marijuana and gun charges but still follows the team, prompting hosts David Haugh and Jarrett Payton to riff on his “locked‑in” fandom. The odd call highlights how sports connect fans—even behind bars.
In Week 6, the Atlanta Falcons fell behind to the Chicago Bears and couldn’t recover, but a late surge highlighted three standout performers. Tight end Kyle Pitts sparked the fourth‑quarter comeback with clutch YAC plays, while safety Jessie Bates III forced a pivotal fumble and safety Jared Ivey earned the highest PFF grade among Falcons defenders despite limited snaps. Conversely, wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus struggled, posting the second‑worst EPA among 2026 receivers and dropping a crucial third‑down conversion, and returner Zachariah Branch’s two turnovers further hurt the team. The article also notes ongoing pass‑protection issues that the offense must address.
After the Steelers' 20-13 overtime win over the Falcons moved them to 4-2, quarterback Aaron Rodgers is reportedly targeting Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin as a trade candidate.

CBS analyst Carter Bahns also backs the move, noting Godwin’s health and fit alongside Metcalf. The trade talk intensifies as the NFL deadline approaches.
