Hamilton is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Giants due to a quadriceps injury, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. The severity of Hamilton's injury is unknown at this time. It occurred during the first quarter. While he is sidelined, Kevin King could potentially see some snaps in the slot.
Hamilton (pectoral) was a full participant at the Falcons' practice Wednesday, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Hamilton appears to be set to return to the field after missing the team's Week 11 loss to the Broncos with a pectoral injury before the team was idle in Week 12. The 31-year-old could step into a starting role at cornerback against the Chargers on Sunday with Dee Alford (hamstring) and Mike Hughes (neck) still nursing injuries.
Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Friday that Hamilton (pectoral) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports. Hamilton logged three consecutive DNPs during Atlanta's week of practice after likely sustaining a pectoral injury in the team's Week 10 loss to the Saints. With Hamilton, Dee Alford (hamstring) and Mike Hughes (neck) all ruled out for Week 11, the only corners on the Falcons' active roster without an injury designation are A.J. Terrell, Kevin King and Clark Phillips.
Hamilton (pectoral) didn't practice Wednesday. Hamilton could be in jeopardy of missing time after he likely sustained a pectoral injury in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Saints. If the special-teamer is unable to practice in at least a limited fashion Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss Atlanta's Week 11 matchup against the Broncos.
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.
