Past hamstring injury
Alford (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Alford was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury that forced him to be sidelined against the Broncos in Week 11, but he looks to be on track to play Sunday against the Chargers. Through 10 regular-season games, Alford has logged 54 tackles (43 solo), including 1.0 sack, and six pass defensed.
Opens week with limited work
Alford (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Alford was sidelined for Atlanta's Week 11 loss to the Broncos after sustaining a hamstring injury the game prior. He had some additional recovery time with the Falcons' Week 12 bye; however, Wednesday's limited session suggests he's still dealing with the issue. Alford's practice participation Thursday and Friday will offer the best insight into whether he can return for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.
Out for Sunday
Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Friday that Alford (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports. Alford's absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as the Tusculum product was unable to practice all week after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Saints. Atlanta's cornerback room is expected to be headlined by A.J. Terrell, Kevin King and Clark Phillips with Alford, Mike Hughes (neck) and Antonio Hamilton (pectoral) all sidelined for Week 11.
DNP on Wednesday
Alford (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday. Alford played just 21 total snaps (15 defensive and six on special teams) and recorded one tackle before exiting Sunday's loss to the Saints with a hamstring injury. If 27-year-old is unable to upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss the Falcons' Week 11 matchup against the Broncos.
Healthy for Week 6
Alford (concussion) holds no injury designation for Sunday's game against Carolina. Alford left last Thursday's matchup against the Buccaneers early with a concussion, but it appears he's all healed to take on the Panthers this Sunday. The 5-foot-11 cornerback has 29 tackles (22 solo), one sack and two passes defended so far this season.
Returns to full practice
Alford (concussion) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports. Alford suffered a concussion in last Thursday's win over the Buccaneers and appears well on his way to clearing the league's five-step protocols. Barring any setbacks, he'll likely be able to suit up Sunday against the Panthers.
Limited Wednesday
Alford (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Alford was placed in concussion protocol after sustaining a head injury in the first quarter of the Falcons' Week 5 win over the Buccaneers, so Wednesday's limited session comes as no surprise. The 26-year-old cornerback will still need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion process in order to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
Enters protocol
Alford was placed in the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in last Thursday's 36-30 win over the Buccaneers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. Alford suffered the injury in the first quarter and was not allowed to return to the game. In his absence, Antonio Hamilton took over slot corner duties and recorded two combined tackles. Hamilton will likely be tasked with that role again if Alford doesn't get clearance to suit up for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Departs Thursday with head injury
Alford is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Thursday's contest versus Tampa Bay, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Alford was hurt in the first quarter while making a tackle of Chris Godwin. Antonio Hamilton entered as the Falcons' nickel corner in Alford's stead and will likely be asked to hold down that role if the latter is unable to return.
