Hamilton (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Hamilton will return to action after missing Atlanta's Week 7 loss to Seattle due to a back injury. Hamilton has made four appearances this season, playing exclusively on special teams in three of those games. However, he could crack the secondary rotation versus Tampa Bay, as Justin Simmons (hamstring) will be sidelined for the first time this season.

Hamilton (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Hamilton will return to action after missing Atlanta's Week 7 loss to Seattle due to a back injury. Hamilton has made four appearances this season, playing exclusively on special teams in three of those games. However, he could crack the secondary rotation versus Tampa Bay, as Justin Simmons (hamstring) will be sidelined for the first time this season.
Hamilton (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Hamilton missed the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the Seahawks due to a back injury. However, the South Carolina State product has a chance to return in Week 8 after logging a week of limited practice sessions. If he's unable to play through the issue Sunday, expect Dee Alford to see increased work as the Falcons' top slot cornerback.
Hamilton is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks due to a back injury. Hamilton has been primarily a special teams contributor for Atlanta this season, so the defense should not feel his absence. The depth cornerback's next opportunity to suit up will come in one week at Tampa Bay.
Hamilton (groin) was a full participant in practice Thursday. Hamilton has yet to suit up this season for the Falcons, but his ability to get in a full practice session on Thursday should signal that the 31-year-old will suit up Sunday against the Chiefs. He's expected to bolster Atlanta's depth in the secondary.
Hamilton (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Hamilton has been held out of the first two games of the regular season due to a groin injury he sustained in early September. He was able to log back-to-back limited practices leading up to Monday's game against the Eagles, but he wasn't able to suit up for that contest. If he's able to increase his practice participation Thursday and Friday, then Hamilton should make his Falcons debut against the Chiefs on Sunday. Across 14 regular-season games with the Cardinals in 2023, Hamilton tallied 40 tackles (29 solo), 11 passes defended and one interception.
Hamilton (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Philadelphia, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Hamilton was able to log back-to-back limited practices Friday and Saturday, but he hasn't progressed through his groin injury enough to suit up for Week 2. His next chance to suit up will come Week 3 against the Chiefs on Sept. 22.
Hamilton (groin) was a DNP for Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Hamilton popped up on the Falcons' injury report leading up to Week 1 against the Steelers, which he ended up being ruled out for. His DNP to start the week doesn't bode well for his chances of playing against the Eagles in Week 2, but he has two more opportunities to practice in some capacity. Hamilton appeared in 14 regular-season games for the Cardinals in 2023, finishing with 40 tackles (29 solo), 11 passes defended and one interception.
Hamilton (groin) did not practice Friday and is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Hamilton was not listed on Wednesday's injury report, but he popped up as a limited participant Thursday before missing practice entirely Friday. The veteran's next chance to suit up will come Week 2 versus the Eagles on Monday Night Football.
Hamilton was limited during Thursday's practice session due to a groin injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. The groin injury appears to be recent, as Hamilton was not listed on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday. His participation level Friday will provide a better picture around his status for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Steelers. Hamilton enters this season in a depth role in the Falcons' secondary after finishing 2023 with 40 tackles (29 solo), 11 passes defended and one interception across 14 regular-season games with the Cardinals.
